About the author

Victoria de Grazia is Professor of History, Columbia University, and the author of The Culture of Consent: Mass Organization of Leisure in Fascist Italy (1981).

Summary

Focuses on how the fascist dictatorship defined the place of women in modern Italy and how women experienced the Duce's rule. This work offers a detailed characterization of Italian women's ambiguous and ambivalent experience of a regime that promised modernity, yet denied women emancipation.

Additional text

"Extremely well researched and drawing upon a vast array of sources, this is the first full-length study of the experiences of women under Italian fascism."
