La contestazione cattolica tra matrimoni anti-concordatari e referendum sul divorzio (1969-1974)

The article explores the mobilization of the Italian feminist movement during the 1974 referendum campaign against the abolition of divorce. This participation marks a turning point for 1970s feminisms, allowing militants to publicly assert critiques of the family and women's oppression. The campaign also underscores existing tensions with leftist organizations and institutions, forcing an internal debate within the feminist movement about autonomy, class, and traditional politics. The referendum thus represents an accelerator for feminist struggles, and its study highlights its significance as an important stage in the evolution of the movement's strategies and contradictions.
