FEM 2026 · the publishing fair

Four days of books, voices and visions on the feminine

“FEM” is a celebration of publishing that gives voice, space and form to the women’s universe: days of encounters, presentations, dialogues and performances dedicated to women’s writing and to narratives about the feminine.

An event that puts at its centre publishing houses promoting women’s talent – from new voices to the most established authors – together with writers, essayists and scholars who have worked on crucial themes such as gender, the body, motherhood, work, beauty, rights, memory and freedom.

A festival that is not only a showcase, but a space for listening, exchange and discovery. An invitation to read women, to read the feminine, and to read the world with new eyes.

Because writing is also an act of liberation. And every woman’s voice that tells her story opens a space of possibility for all.
