Comitato pro suffragio femminile

[1] Among the most active participants were Anna Maria Mozzoni, Linda Malnati and Carlotta Clerici.

Its principal objectives were to promote, defend and support the women's suffrage movement; to become the focus of action by regional committees; to set up committees in cities where they were absent; and to unite Italian women fighting for voting rights, exploring all legal avenues for obtaining the right for them to vote.

[3] In 1906, on behalf of the committee, Mozzoni presented a petition to the Italian Parliament inviting the deputies to discuss granting voting rights to women.

While sensitizing parliamentarians to the issue, it was also effective in forming a basis for discussion by women throughout the country.

In 1922, Benito Mussolini gave a promise to Comitato pro suffragio femminile to introduce women's suffrage.
