Anders unter Gleichen: Frauen, Männer und Weiblichkeit im italienischen Kommunismus der Nachkriegszeit

Zusammenfassung: The article investigates notions of the feminine and the roles of women in the Italian Communist subculture within the framework of common gender roles and traditional moral schemes in post-War Italy. It reveals the female comrade as a ‘charming assistant’ of the revolutionary male comrade and emphasizes the functionality of her symbolic value as mother, wife and bella donna for both Communists’ self-understanding as well as their public image as a genuine ‘Italian’ movement.Furthermore, it argues that the Communists’ social conservativism regarding women’s roles, the sacredness of family and their propensity to the spatial separation of female from male action within the party was a key to success in the search for mass membership after 1945, ensuring that entering the Communist world did not necessarily challenge traditional social habits, attitudes and moralities in everyday life. This was true not only for men: female comrades themselves were deeply rooted in their traditional gender roles
