Abstract

After the war, Italy passed through a notable but uneven period of economic development. The great changes in the economic structure of the country were not accompanied by policies directed toward changing the traditional style of life and of the family, where the women had the function of caring for and satisfying the various needs of the members of the family. The lack of social services and infrastructures is consequently a strong brake on women's opportunities to get out of the house and enter the working world. Therefore, notwithstanding legislation aimed at equality, women in Italy are few with regard to work, almost absent from public life, and above all absent from professional, political, and governing élites.
