During the 1950s and the 1960s, the Italian economy and society went through profound changes that lead, in the next decade, Italians to be more interested in civil rights and increasingly involved in the country's political life. Issues at that time included the reform of family legislation, the divorce law, the elimination of the crime of abortion, and the laws around sexual assault. Several Catholic associations began questioning their positions on the changes affecting the society and families. Among these associations was the Group for the Promotion of Women, founded in Milan between 1971 and 1972, that quickly became a point of reference for Catholic and non-Catholic women in this city. This article analyses the origin, the development and the activities of this group and it points out its achievements in terms to improve women's conditions in various fields (family, society, workplaces and the Church).
