Women and Italian history at the crossroads of new perspectives

Abstract

This article discusses the recent volume edited by Silvia Salvatici, "Storia delle donne nell'Italia contemporanea" (Rome, Carocci, 2022). It highlights the originality of studies published on the subject in recent decades and focuses on the methodological challenge of the book, which interweaves national and global history and uses a gender perspective to rewrite the history of Italy from the Unification to the present day.
