The political biographies of lady politicians are intertwined with the historical past of the legislation they created and helped cross, together with paid maternity depart, the remaining of state-run brothels, and women's correct to develop into judges.

Women politicians navigated gendered political identification as they picked and selected between competing versions of femininity in chilly struggle Italy. In so doing, The misplaced Wave shows, they cast a political legacy that affected the rights and possibilities of all Italian electorate.
