Women of the Shadows: The Wives and Mothers of Southern Italy, Ann Cornelisen, 1977, Italy (United States), NONFICTION

"Ann Cornelisen arrived in 1954 to study archaeology; she ended up spending ten years establishing nurseries in poverty-stricken villages in Southern Italy. "Regret[ting] my own intrusion as a filter," she wanted to record the lives of the women she met because "before they disappear to become the ghostly shadows behind a myth, I think they should have their say."..."
