Women in the Constituent Assembly
Milan 27 May 2022 - On 2 June 1946, twenty-one women were elected (out of 556 members) in the Constituent Assembly. On 12 March 2013, almost ten years ago, Teresa Mattei left us, the last of them and, among all, the one who, in that Assembly, had the most important role, taking on the secretariat of the presidency office. Seventy-six years later, as part of the Republic Day celebrations, Municipality 7 invites us to reflect on women as protagonists of the new republican Italy and on their social and political path. It is no coincidence that the "symbolic" face of that moment was Anna Iberti, who passes through a hole in the cover of the Corriere della Sera of 6 June 1946, with the news of the results of the birth of the Italian Republic.
Appointment Saturday 11 June 2022 at 10:00 am, at the Cascina Monastero in via Anselmo da Baggio 55, where the Ferruccio Parri National Institute awaits you for a two-voice reflection between a historian and a historian. Monica Di Barbora will address the theme of the representation of women in republican history with an introductory part on photography and the history of women within a gender perspective. Giorgio Uberti will dive into the folds of the biographies of the twenty-one constituents, to investigate their political and also memorial legacy in contemporary Italy. What have our Constituent Mothers left us and where are they today? Finally, space for questions and interventions.
