Abstract

The Italian Communist Party's peak of popularity in the mid-1970s, during its so-called ‘Eurocommunist’ turn, coincided with a surge of feminist struggles in Italy. While scholarship has treated Communist Party politics and feminism as unrelated historical phenomena, this article provides evidence for their multi-layered ‘interweaving’. The term was employed by PCI women themselves to conceptualise how struggles against social and gender inequalities interlock, but also to stress that overcoming women's oppression in Italian society (and beyond) presupposed a reckoning with male dominance – and the peripheral role of the ‘women's question’ – within their party. The ensuing intra-party debate, reconstructed through sources from the turning-point year of 1976, is a revealing instance of PCI activists’ reception of 1970s feminism.

交织：20世纪70年代意大利的共产主义妇女与女权主义

20世纪70年代中期，意大利共产党在所谓的“欧洲共产主义”时期达到了受欢迎的顶峰，与此同时，意大利女权主义斗争激增。虽然学术界将共产党政治和女权主义视为不相关的历史现象，但本文为它们的多层“交织”提供了证据。PCI女性自己使用这个词来概念化反对社会和性别不平等的斗争是如何相互关联的，但也强调了在意大利社会（及其他社会）克服女性压迫的前提是对男性主导地位以及“女性问题”在党内的外围作用进行清算。随后的党内辩论，通过1976年转折年的资料重建，是PCI活动家接受20世纪70年代女权主义的一个很好的例子。

期刊介绍： Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
