Part 10/11:
The fall of Mussolini in 1943 and his eventual execution in 1945 marked the beginning of significant changes in Italian society. Women regained some rights, including the right to vote in 1946 and the reinstatement of divorce. However, the remnants of Mussolini’s policies left a lasting legacy on societal attitudes towards women's roles.
Years of oppression fostered a societal mindset that continued to prioritize domesticity, hampering women’s progress in education and professional careers long after Mussolini's demise. The journey toward complete equality and women's liberation in Italy persisted, slowly shifting with activism and legislative changes over subsequent decades.
