Women and Terraces

The section “Experiences from the field” of this issue of the ITLA journal presents three articles focusing on Women and Terraces approaching the special relationship of women with nature in mountainous areas. A common trait in the articles is the use of innovative methodologies. Group conversations as the source for gathering information, the combination of historical sources with poetry and photography, as well as putting at the centre the personal testimony collected by phone calls. The three articles highlight the voices of women, who express their feelings, memories and reflections about the work and life in the vertical space of the terraces.
