Italian Family Matters: Women, Politics and Legal Reform (Language, Discourse, Society)

By Lesley Caldwell

Book Overview

Italian Family Matters examines the debates and political priorities that led to significant changes in the law and its relation to women and the family in postwar Italy. Informed by the feminist debates on these issues, it shows that both the need for and the limits to the demand for equality before the law can be used to show what a different ordering of the relations between the sexes could mean.
