LEDA RAFANELLI

How do you live freely under fascism?

Is religion sacred, or can it be shaped to suit your spiritual needs?

Who truly has the authority to define the reality we live in?

The work of Leda Rafanelli raises, and suggests a few possible answers to, these questions.

Leda Rafanelli (1880-1971) was an Italian writer, editor, publisher, and activist who paid the bills through fortune-telling in her later life. An outspoken anarchist, she conformed to neither radical nor customary conventions in her perspectives on sexuality and spirituality, among other eccentricities.
