Editing the Revolution: Feminine Cartographies of Anarchist Culture.

Anarchist Women Editors: Political Biographies in the Feminine, Campanella et al. (Eds.)

Abstract

Anarquistas editoras: biografías políticas en femenino (Miguelañez y Campanela, 2025) engages with the renewed historiographical interest in the anarchist cultural project of the early twentieth century by shifting attention to women’s participation in libertarian print culture. The volume moves from individual trajectories to female editorial networks, expanding the notion of editorial practice beyond books and periodicals to include translation, illustration, and reading communities. In doing so, it not only recovers figures marginalized by historiography but also foregrounds the material, fragmented, and often precarious conditions of their interventions, avoiding their idealization. Rather than merely filling a historiographical gap, the book repositions these experiences within a political genealogy that critically interrogates contemporary articulations between feminism, culture, and social transformation.
