Peasant Women and Politics in Facist Italy

The Massaie Rurali

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study is the first published history of the "Massaie Rurali," the Fascist Party's section for peasant women, which, with three million members by 1943, became one of the largest of the regime's mass mobilizing organizations. Perry Wilson draws on a wide range of archival and contemporary press sources to investigate the nature of the group and the dynamics of class and gender that lay at its heart.
