Abstract

Between September 8, 1943, and April 25, 1945, Italian women played a crucial role in the resistance against fascists and German occupiers. From silent expressions of their opposition to the Nazis and their allies by means of symbolic gestures to more properly oppositional activities ―sabotage, distribution of leaflets and clandestine newspapers, demonstrations and strikes― through their involvement in the Resistenza as armed fighters, couriers, instructors, propagandists, coordinators or nurses, a wide range of acts and behaviors materialized women's both armed and unarmed resistance.

Freed from military duty, the decision of some women to join the Resistenza was voluntary ―a conscious assumption of responsibility and a political act of putting their own lives at risk in the struggle to end the war, liberate their country and contribute to shaping a new society for their people.

After the end of the conflict, Italian women's activism and participation in the partisan movement was overlooked partially because of the existing military requirements for official recognition as partisans, the moral and social norms of the time and partisan women's own self-representation, seeing their involvement in the Resistenza as something that had to be done and was driven by a personal, rather than political decision.

This paper is intended as a synthesis for non-Italian readers. As such, it traces the different ways in which Italian women became involved in the Resistenza, considering the events prior to September 1943 but also after the end of the war and the liberation of the country. The research is based on relevant historiography, on both published and unpublished testimonies by partisan women and on a selection of relevant documentary sources.
