First-person story of Maria, fifty, wife, mother and worker, who through the encounter with today's feminist practices of the "Non Una Di Meno" movement in Milan, takes stock of being a woman today. Intrigued by the "global women's strike", proclaimed on March 8, 2017 by Non Una Di Meno, Maria participates in the Milanese demonstration. Here for the first time she hears about the "Feminist Plan Against Male Violence Against Women and Gender Violence" that the movement is writing.
