Universalità e particolarità: i diritti delle donne come diritti umani

The article deals with Anna Rossi-Doria’s essays on women’s rights and human rights and her reflection on the nexus between “universality” and “particularity” as a central issue in women’s history. Specifically, the focus is on the women’s movement agency, on the changes in perspective promoted by contemporary feminisms and on the question of the relationship between difference and differences. Finally, it is shown how recent historiography has highlighted the hypothesis of a new women’s and gender political history at a transnational level, to which Anna Rossi-Doria’s essays have made a fundamental contribution.
