Auteur: Sanson, Helena (University Senior Lecturer, Department of Italian, University of Cambridge; Fellow of Clare College)
Editeur: Oxford University Press

Little attention has been paid to women's linguistic education, but this study shows the vital role they played in developing Italian as a true mother tongue.
