In the first section of this volume, the core issues involved in talking about concepts of sexual difference, especially within Italian feminism, are presented. These issues are tied to theories and practices that can be found in French feminism, but they are shaped by the specific Italian and sociohistorical context. The essays in the second section explore many elements of the theoretical debate on difference, and its role in contemporary feminist thought and elsewhere.
