Natalia GinzburgNatalia Ginzburg (1916-1991), "who authored twelve books and two plays; who, because of anti-Semitic laws, sometimes couldn't publish under her own name; who raised five children and lost her husband to Fascist torture; who was electd to the Italian parliament as an independent in her late sixties--this woman does not take her present conditions as a given.
