Una femminista italiana Pt. 3 {Mini-Story Series}

March 3, 2014 By Cher 2 Comments

This episode’s audio doesn’t exist, and we have technology to blame (poof! gone into cyberspace!). Instead of listening to this episode, feel free to use the notes below to learn more about the topic. And if you’re like, “CHER, NO. I NEED THIS EPISODE,” then let me know in the comments below. I’ll put it on my list to record again!

TRANSLATION

Sono una femminista.

I am a feminist.

Credo fermamente nell’uguaglianza e nella parità di diritti per tutti.

I believe firmly in equality and in equal rights for everyone.

Ma intendiamoci: non ho intenzione di bruciare il reggiseno e ammetto che mi piacciono gli uomini.

But let’s get this straight. I have no intention of burning my bra and I do like guys.

Secondo me, nonostante ci sia una divergenza di opinioni su questo tema, molte persone capiscono la verità.

According to me, although there is disagreement on this topic, many people do understand the truth of Feminism.

Alcuni mesi fa, ho letto di Antonio Gramsci, un italiano vissuto durante il fascismo e la dittatura di Mussolini.

Some months ago, I read about Antonio Gramsci, an Italian who lived during the fascist regime and the dictatorship of Mussolini.

Gramsci riteneva che tutte le persone fossero uguali e che l’indipendenza delle donne in particolare avrebbe portato a diversi miglioramenti sociali.

Gramsci believed that everyone should be equal and that female independence in particular would have brought about different social improvements.

Ma, a causa delle sue convinzioni politiche, fu imprigionato dal regime fascista di Mussolini per lungo tempo.

But because of his political beliefs, he was imprisoned from the fascist regime of Mussolini for a long time.

Ammiro l’intelligenza di Antonio Gramsci e il suo impegno di attivista.

I admire the intelligence of Antonio Gramsci and his commitment to activism.

Nel film intitolato “Iron-Jawed Angels”, la mia attrice preferita, Hilary Swank, recita la parte di Alice Paul, un’attivista del movimento di emancipazione femminile americano, che lottò in particolare per il diritto di voto delle donne.

In a movie called Iron-Jawed Angels, my favorite actress, Hilary Swank, plays the part of Alice Paul, an activist of the American women’s emancipation movement, in particular for the struggle for the right for women to vote.

(In italiano le femministe di inizio secolo, di cui Alice era leader in America, si chiamano “suffragette”).

(In Italian, the feminists of the second century, of which Alice was the leader in America, was called suffragists.)

Ammiro le persone come Alice Paul e Antonio Gramsci che credono in un mondo migliore.

I admire people like Alice Paul and Antonio Gramsci that believe in a better world.
