Popis: International audience; The purpose of our article is to explore the theme of female precariousness described in a story by Aldo Nove entitled Storia di Roberta. Our idea is to analyze the protagonist's experience through the perspective of her profession: Roberta is a teacher and an intellectual with a passion for politics and civil causes. Our interest is to understand how the perspective of meta-biography-where the story of the other becomes the privileged stratagem to express the point of view of the author-allows the emergence of a series of social problems indispensable for the understanding of the reality of women at work in contemporary societies. In particular, we focus on the overlapping-from which the notion of professional intersectionality derives-of gender, work, and desire. If Roberta's experience insists on the precarious condition of women in today's society, at the same time this story raises the question of gender to illustrate how job instability becomes the source of a series of problems that are corollaries of economic fragility.
