Takes on Motherhood in Bellissima, Il Grido, and Mamma Roma; IndexThis volume brings together specialists from a variety of disciplines to develop a deeper understanding of the social, political, and cultural history of women in Italy in the years 1946-1960. Despite being a time when women and the family were at the center of national debates, and when society changed considerably, the fifteen years following the Second World War have tended to be overlooked or subsumed into discussions of other periods. By focusing on the experience of women and by broadening the frame of reference to include subjects and sources often ignored, or only alluded to, by traditional analyses, the essays in this volume break new ground and provide a corrective to previous interpretive models.Italian and Italian American Studies,2635-2931WomenItalyHistory20th centuryCongressesFeminismItalyElectronic books.WomenHistoryFeminism305.40945/09045Morris Penelope938085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451283103321Women in Italy, 1946-19602113266UNINA
