This first monograph dedicated to the Neapolitan feminist and pacifist artists’ collective Le Nemesiache brings together unpublished documents, images, photographs, and manifestos, alongside new creative, political, and historical contributions. Founded in Naples in 1970 by artist and writer Lina Mangiacapre, the collective developed an experimental, interdisciplinary practice rooted in feminism, mythology, folktales, and radical imagination. Embracing film, performance, writing, ritual, and protest, Le Nemesiache challenged art as mere representation and questioned fixed notions of feminine identity. Introducing transfeminism in the early 1980s, the group forged a distinct political and artistic language grounded in myth, cosmology, and collective joy, reshaping feminist art history in Italy and beyond.
