Book excerpt: A study of women's participation in the movement to overthrow the Fascist regime, expel the occupying Germans, and rebuild a progressive and democratic Italy. Between 1943 and 1945, some 50,000 Italian women engaged in resistance activities as military commanders and combatants, saboteurs and couriers, nurses, organizers, demonstrators, and political leaders. Using interviews, the author presents a profile of these Resistance women and examines the motives for their activism and the impact of their contributions. Paper edition (unseen) $22.50.
