Two Women, novel by Alberto Moravia, published in Italian in 1957 as La ciociara. Based partially on Moravia’s own experiences during World War II, the novel tells the story of Cesira, a strong-willed widow who is forced to flee Rome in 1943 with her 18-year-old daughter Rosetta.
Cesira scarcely cares who wins the war, so long as victory comes soon and brings with it a return to her quiet shopkeeper's life. Instead, the Liberation brings tragedy. While heading back to Rome the pair are attacked by a group of Allied Moroccan soldiers, who rape Rosetta and beat Cesira unconscious.
