In this issue of Bracco 2, attention is focused on a series of news items aimed at increasingly highlighting women.
Edgarda Ferri opens the issue by discussing women's guilds in the Middle Ages, a guild of considerable importance and decisive influence on the economy and commerce of the time. From the spindle and distaff, the focus shifts to the sword, and a review of some famous warrior women who set an example of unforgettable courage is presented.
Maria Crocellà then explores the profession of "lady doctors," Mara Maldi illustrates how the stars influence fashion, and finally, Franca Feslikenian suggests games for relaxation.
