Se dico "La donna e i suoi simboli", cosa ti viene in mente? L'autrice Antonella Prisco, ricercatrice di biologia e appassionata di arte e di psicologia, in questa ricerca giocosa pone questa domanda alle donne della sua vita: amiche, parenti, colleghe, conoscenti, le artiste più ammirate, le mamme dei compagni di scuola dei figli, le figlie delle amiche. Le risposte di più di 100 donne sono trascritte e associate a immagini. In questi frammenti di discorsi femminili si riconoscono tanti diversi toni di voce. Tra aforismi e frasi sbilenche, si dispiegano dolcezza e aggressività, profondità e superficie, archetipo e banalità, delicatezza e volgarità, ricerca di senso e dolce naufragare nel senza senso. Il risultato è "La mia parola di donna", un libro illustrato, giocoso, leggero, utilizzabile a piacere come libro da meditazione, o da divinazione, da aprire a caso, per vedere che cosa esce.
