«Volevo i pantaloni» is the novel by Lara Cardella, published by Mondadori in paperback (122 pages, in Italian).
Annetta, an eighteen-year-old Sicilian, lives in an environment where girls her age dream of the ideal husband; she wants something different: freedom and respect. The work follows Annetta's struggle to assert herself as a person against machismo and tradition, with pants as the symbol of her battle against physical and moral violence.
Published in 1989, it marked Lara Cardella's debut, written when she was nineteen; it was translated into some fifteen languages and opens the «Volevo i pantaloni» saga.
For readers interested in contemporary Italian literature and coming-of-age stories about freedom and the role of women in traditional society.
