«Penelope alla guerra» is the novel by Italian writer Oriana Fallaci, published by Rizzoli in paperback (320 pages, in Italian).
Giò is a young Italian woman in New York who rejects the domestic role reserved for women. Like a modern Penelope who does not wait for Ulysses, she seeks her identity and freedom through love affairs that confront her with the conventions of a sexist society.
Originally published in 1962, it is Oriana Fallaci's first narrative work; this edition belongs to the BUR Opere di Oriana Fallaci collection.
