Giulia Zollino ha vissuto questa educazione - o, sarebbe meglio dire, diseducazione - sulla propria pelle. Poi, però, ha incontrato il femminismo. È successo a Bologna, durante gli anni burrascosi dell'università, tra gruppi di discussione, letture e orgasmi. Ed è stato amore a prima vista. Questo incontro ha segnato uno spartiacque tra un prima e un dopo, da qui è partito il suo percorso di ribellione e riscoperta di sé. Il femminismo le ha insegnato a distruggere i miti nocivi, come quello della bellezza, permettendole di accettare e riappropriarsi del suo corpo.

Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged.
