Biancamaria Frabotta (11 June 1946 – 2 May 2022) was an Italian writer. She promoted the study of women writers in Italy and her early poetry focused on feminist issues. The main themes of her later works are melancholy, the dichotomy between Nature and History and between Action and Contemplation, the relationship between the body and the self, and conjugal love. Besides essays on feminism and academic works on poets such as Giorgio Caproni, Franco Fortini, Amelia Rosselli, she wrote plays, radio-dramas, a television show on Petrarch and a novel. Until her retirement in 2016, she has taught Modern Italian Literature at the University of Rome La Sapienza, where she got her Laurea degree.
