L'ordine Simbolico Della Madre by Luisa Muraro
An influential work of feminist philosophy that reimagines the foundations of subjectivity, language, and authority from the standpoint of maternal genealogy. It argues that the prevailing patriarchal symbolic order suppresses women’s experience and proposes a symbolic order grounded in the mother—the first relationship of speech, dependence, and meaning—to legitimize female authority and freedom. Introducing practices such as affidamento (entrustment) and relationships of mediation among women, it outlines how renewing language and female genealogies can transform cultural and political life by affirming sexual difference rather than dissolving it into sameness.
