Dacia Maraini is a prolific writer and prominent feminist who has written novels, poetry, plays, screenplays, investigative studies, essays, and political and social commentary. She co‑founded the Teatro del Porcospino in the 1960s and, in 1973, established the well-known feminist experimental theatre, La Maddalena, in Rome. Her plays are widely produced and include Mary Stuart, The Dreams of Clytemnestra, Dialogue between a Prostitute and her Client, Stravaganza, and Marianna Ucria. Several films have been made based on her books, and she has written screenplays for such directors as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Marco Ferreri, Carlo Di Palma, and Margarethe Von Trotta.
