Dacia Maraini presents Chiara of Assisi: In Praise of Disobedience.

In a man’s world, a woman acted by her own free will.

The renowned Italian author, playwright, and journalist — on her 2015 US tour — will present her latest novel about a Saint who at the young age of 12 decided to renounce her noble and wealthy life in order to follow the vows of poverty. The author traces the disobedience of Santa Chiara as an example of a woman who, in a time dominated by men, decided with her own free will.
