'Italy has been made; now we need to make the Italians', goes a
familiar Italian saying. Mussolini was the first head of state to
include women in this mandate. How the fascist dictatorship defined
the place of women in modern Italy and how women experienced the
Duce's rule are the subjects of Victoria de Grazia's new work. De
Grazia draws on an array of sources - memoirs and novels, the
images, songs, and events of mass culture, as well as government
statistics and archival reports. She offers a broad yet detailed
characterization of Italian women's ambiguous and ambivalent
experience of a regime that promised modernity, yet denied women
emancipation. Always attentive to the great diversity among women
and careful to distinguish fascist rhetoric from the practices that
really shaped daily existence, the author moves with ease from the
public discourse about femininity to the images of women in
propaganda and commercial culture. She analyzes fascist attempts to
organize women and the ways in which Mussolini's intentions were
received by women as social actors. The first study of women's
experience under Italian fascism, this is also a history of the
making of contemporary Italian society.
