Abstract

In “Una parola serena” published in “Donna + Amore + Bellezza” of L’Italia futurista, Enif Robert speaks in positive terms of women who are healthy and balanced, because of their ability to respond to their instincts in harmony with their intellect, and to integrate themselves in society (L’Italia futurista. October 7, 1917). These women are able to maintain — or to recover — their vital energies, because they know how to integrate body, mind and spirit and be well adjusted in their community.
