Percorsi di autocoscienza e formazione femminile nella dittatura: Lore Walb, Carola Stern, Sigrid Grabner

Three women, who lived for a significant part of their lives under a dictatorship i.e. the Nazi period for Lore Walb and Carola Stern and later, under the DDR, again Carola Stern and Sigrid Grabner, wrote their autobiographies which have the strength of a “Bildungsroman”. Actually, even with different dissimilarities of their own experiences, they bear witness of a path of self-awareness within pacifism and democracy. It is apparent how they were able to recover in their work the universal principles of the cultural and humanistic tradition which implies respect and acceptance of the other.
