Carla Barberis
Carla Barberis, known by her pseudonym Voltolina, was an influential figure in mid-20th century Italy, notably for her collaboration with Senator Lina Merlin in the publication of 'Lettere dalle case chiuse' in 1955. This groundbreaking book compiled 70 letters from prostitutes, shedding light on their struggles and advocating for their rights during a pivotal time when the Italian government was debating the closure of regulated brothels. Barberis's work not only amplified the voices of marginalized women but also challenged societal norms concerning morality and the rights of sex workers, contributing significantly to the discourse on gender equality and human rights in Italy.
