The Libreria delle donne, born in 1975, is a complex and dynamic reality: edits a journal (Via Dogana), organizes meetings, discussions, presentations of books, showings of films, admins a website, has a collections of rare texts, and it is a reference meeting point for many women and men too. It is mainly a politic place, in the free sense of the word politic: nothing to do with institutions, parties or groups. It is the politic of "starting from oneself" (partire da sé), that borns from thinking on one's own experience, being together in a women enterprise and being in the world based on the relationships.

The DUODA - Centro de Recerca de Donas - is born in 1982 by a group of feminist historians from Barcellona University. They have followed the idea of a new place with no hierarchical powers replaced by the love for the knowledge and new relations based on esteem. The DUODA has founded in 1987 the post-degree course "History of Women" and in 2000 the online master "Studies of Sexual Difference".

"Siamo giornaliste e giornalisti convinti che l’informazione quotidiana, nonostante i suoi grandi cambiamenti, continui a essere indirizzata a un lettore-utente apparentemente neutro, ma in realtà di genere maschile...
...E la lettrice? Per lei, se va bene, esistono, sparsi nelle varie pagine dei quotidiani (mai o quasi mai nel “primo sfoglio”) altri temi: stili di vita, consumi, salute, lavoro, famiglie, bambini. Molte sono le notizie tralasciate, o appena sfiorate quando riguardano la vita delle donne. E' documentato che nella nostra informazione su sei personaggi dei quali si narrano la vita, le avventure, si raccolgono i giudizi, si amplificano le polemiche, solo una è donna.
...Ci piacerebbe un’informazione che dei conflitti che attraversano la vita - la vita sociale, sentimentale, politica - faccia terreno di approfondimento e di scavo. Proviamo stanchezza per una scena mediatica sempre più simile a un pranzo di famiglia, dove nessuno ascolta chi parla, perché per ciascuno esiste già la casella, il giudizio, l’etichetta, la frase fatta..."

"Nel novembre del 1995, durante il convegno che si tenne presso l’Università di Firenze sul tema S/Oggetti immaginari. Letterature comparate al femminile (curato da Liana Borghi e Rita Svandrlik), emerse la proposta di costituire una associazione di donne impegnate nella ricerca e nella pratica della scrittura e della letteratura. Nacque così nel 1996 la Società Italiana delle Letterate (SIL), la cui specificità è quella di avere come ambito di riflessione lo "spazio letterario" comparato al femminile".
