Fasci Femminili

Fasci Femminili (FF) ("Female Groups") was the women's section of the Italian Fascist Party (PNF).

When it was formally created in 1920, having then informally existed since 1919, it was almost unique, since other Italian political parties did not include women in their partiers.

In 1925, the section Opera Nazionale Maternità ed Infanzia (ONMI) was created to support married mothers and children, which was essentially a charity organization managed by the FF-women.

The Massaie Rurali (MR) was founded in 1933 and the Sezione Operaie e Lavoranti a Domicilio (Section for Female Laborers and Home-workers or SOLD) in 1937, both intended to include rural and urban working-class women respectively within the PNF.

In 1937, there were two national inspectresses: Clara Franceschini and Giuditta "Itta" Stelluti Scala Frascara; they were followed by four in 1938: Wanda Bruschi Gorjux, Laura Marani Argnani, Teresita Menzinger Ruata and Olga Medici del Vascello, and in 1940 by: Anna Maria Giusti Dalla Rosa, Angiola Moretti, Ignazia Cavalli d'Olivola, and Sofia Bertaina Chiesa di Cervignasco.
