• Resumen

  • This essay reconstructs the events of trade union feminism, an experience that developed from the early 70s until the threshold of the 80s, representing an original and still little investigated chapter in the more general history of Italian neo-feminism.

    Using the new sources available today in the archives of feminism, the essay analyzes the forms of contamination and mutual interchange between the most widespread practices of the feminist movement (discovery of subjectiveness, self-consciousness, separatism) and the struggles and contractual claims of the worker's movement, with particular relevance to working hours and conditions. Several of the corsi 150 ore delle donne, or "women's 150-hour courses", provided for by the national collective bargaining agreement of metalworkers signed in the spring of 1973, are described and analyzed. The main topics of the courses, which were organized throughout Italian national territory, were female sexuality, motherhood, abortion, and health at the workplace.
