Chapter One examines pamphlets, speeches, and articles aimed at women that outline popular ideas about how they should participate. What were Italian women actually contributing to the war effort? Chapter Two discusses female war work at the home front, with special attention to middle-class women's unpaid contributions. What was the war like along the Italian Front? Chapter Three moves the focus from the home front to the war front by describing daily life patterns along with the chronology and geography of the war. What were women at the front experiencing, and what did they think about their unique position as women witnessing war? Chapters Four and Five rely on diaries and memoirs written by men and women from Italy, Austria, Britain, and the United States to flesh out women's varied experiences. Finally, what was the legacy of the war for women in Italy? Chapter Six follows the relationship between women and the state through the early years of Mussolini's Fascism. |
