From CBC Ideas - Art was a battlefield for Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi, a feminist before the word was invented. The 17th-century artist painted a new vision of womanhood and fought for the very things women fight for today. (Alisa Siegel)

How a Canadian chef is helping migrant women put down 'Roots' in Italy. Roots, Montrealer Jessica Rosval's new restaurant in Modena, Italy, is staffed by migrants training as chefs. For the past nine years, Montrealer Rosval has served as the right-hand woman of celebrated chef Massimo Bottura, who was featured in Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy series on CNN. She has worked alongside him in his Michelin-starred restaurant, Osteria Francescana, in Modena, Italy, which she calls an "ethical kitchen." Now, Rosval is applying the notion of "kitchens as community" to a new culinary venture that helps women who immigrate to Italy find careers and integrate into life in a new country.
