Resumo(s)
The National Council of Italian Women (CNDI—Consiglio Nazionale
delle Donne Italiane), founded in Rome in 1903, was affiliated with
the International Council of Women (ICW) which was created in
Washington DC in 1888, in order ‘to stimulate the sentiment of
internationalism among women throughout the world’ and
aimed to bring together the maximum number of women’s
associations in each country. This article analyses the origins of
the CNDI, highlighting the role played by aristocratic women in
its foundation—a social composition that made the Italian case a
paradigmatic one compared to other national councils of women
in southern Europe. A focus on the aristocratic component of the
CNDI provides new insights into this voluntary association which
organised its first congress in 1908. This congress is a key
moment to explore the discourses of its aristocratic leaders
regarding religion and to show their understanding of various
issues confronting Italian women. The study of the individual
trajectories of these women, and the personal links between
them sheds light on their motivations and demonstrates how
they succeeded or failed in their various initiatives.
