Quando entrambi sono ancora membri del Partito Socialista, prima della Grande Guerra, Mussolini trova già nel futuro segretario un tenace oppositore, senza sapere che, in seguito, proprio lui, soprannominato "tempesta" dai compagni di partito, diventerà un ostacolo insormontabile per la sua sfrenata ambizione. Il loro antagonismo si rinnova un decennio dopo e culmina il 30 maggio 1924, nell'aula della Camera, dove Matteotti denuncia le violenze perpetrate dagli squadristi fascisti durante le ultime elezioni che hanno portato Mussolini alla guida di un governo di coalizione.

In the spring of 1983 Terry Tempest Williams learned that her mother was dying of cancer. That same season, The Great Salt Lake began to rise to record heights, threatening the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and the herons, owls, and snowy egrets that Williams, a poet and naturalist, had come to gauge her life by.

Le donne. Perennemente inchiodate a quell'avverbio: "ancora". Ancora non sono alla pari, ancora non sono libere del tutto, ancora pagano il peso della storia scritta dagli uomini, ancora prestano la voce a chi non ha la forza di urlare, ancora fanno notizia se ottengono il posto che spettava a un maschio. Qual è oggi il posto che le donne occupano nella scacchiera della società? Con la pandemia del 2020 qualcosa è cambiato: un virus ha sbriciolato molte certezze ma ha portato in evidenza il ruolo fondamentale e il carattere unico delle donne.
