Camilla Cederna, a prominent figure in Italian
journalism of the twentieth century, was
not only a sharp voice, but also a militant
feminist and an icon of style with a strong and
independent personality.

her sober and elegant
style, characterized
by impeccable suits,
crisp shirts and refined
jewelry, reflected her
intelligence and tenacity
without compromising
on her femininity

At a time when women were not meant to
write about politics, she decided to do so
and she fought against the indolence and
corruption of the political class.
Her articles, always well-informed and incisive,
addressed social and political issues with great
insight and sensitivity.
