This paper examines and interprets the narrative of the Italian woman writer Marisa Madieri as a rediscovering of the matriarchal female. The building of a genealogy represents a constant element within her writings. Many of these are the female archetypes directed linked to the Great Mother or Great Godness myth. In addition, there are many female metaphors that are related to the generative force and references to female mythological figures and female symbols.
