Italian women could not vote, they could not have an abortion or divorce, and if they were killed it was not so serious, if their "fault" was to have harmed male honor. The situation of Italian women was not at all easy, and decades of civil and feminist struggles have gradually managed to change things. Before pain transformed us all, it reduced us like this:

The book The laws of women who changed Italy it reminds us how much progress has been made, and how much still remains to be done. It is edited by the Nilde Iotti Foundation and contains all the rules that have contributed to changing the female situation in our country, which is still traditional and male chauvinist in many ways.
