- The chapter charts the changes over time in women’s role in the Italian Fascist party, from the difficult days of the 1920s, when their attempts to carve out a political space for themselves faced considerable male hostility, to the 1930s, when the recruitment of women became official policy, albeit without altering their subordinate political status. The women’s wing of the party, the Fasci Femminili, offered women opportunities for activism in the name of service to the nation. The chapter explores how its activities – mainly politicised welfare - increased exponentially over time and examines the reasons why millions eventually joined.
