After one century from the first International women’s rights Day celebration in Italy, how free are women from social conditioning in their relationship with themselves and the others? How can the female models daily broadcasted by media have an impact on couples’ relationships? How come so many women are stuck in toxic relationships and have a hard time fleeing them? Why are single women generally happier than married ones?
You will find the answers to these and other questions in the event titled “Meglio sola? Discorsi sull’amore e le relazioni, partendo da sé”( Better alone?
