- The women’s movement in Liberal Italy has received relatively little attention from historians and is little taught in Italian schools. This article explores some of the reasons for this, focusing in particular on the fact that many have described the movement as emancipationist, rather than feminist. This, arguably, has discouraged interest in this topic, given the negative connotations that the term ‘women’s emancipationism’ took on for some in the late twentieth century. The article considers why Italian historians have used this terminology and addresses the thorny question of whether it is acceptable to ignore the self-naming of historical subjects.
