SUMMARY:Peccato di scrittura. A short story competition for women of all ages
DESCRIPTION:For the second consecutive year\, the Società per l’Enciclopedia delle donne APS is launching the annual short story competition “Peccato di scrittura”\, curated by Monica Randi. \nThis year’s theme is “Us and our bodies”.   \nThe competition is reserved exclusively for women. This is a precise and conscious choice\, born from the conviction that writing has always represented a fundamental tool for freedom and the public recognition of women’s experiences.  \nFor centuries\, in fact\, writing has conferred dignity upon every life: that of the philosopher and the poet\, but also that of women excluded from literary canons due to class\, social condition\, or gender. Letters\, diaries\, memoirs\, poems\, embroidered words\, wills\, flyers\, and published writings constitute a precious heritage today that does not only tell individual stories\, but illuminates collective contexts animated by a female presence\, which for too long was withheld from memory and official narrative.  \nThe call for entries is available from July 1st on the website enciclopediadelledonne.it. \nThe deadline for submitting stories is November 10\, 2026. \nBecause writing is still an act of freedom\, a sin of presence that keeps its strength intact. And it tells who you are\, who we are.  \nA project by enciclopediadelledonne.it in collaboration with\nArchivio del Lavoro\, Camera del Lavoro di Milano and Fondazione Elvira Badaracco\nunder the patronage of the Metropolitan City of Milan \nDownload the call for entries \nDownload the postcard \nDownload the registration form \nMore information

SUMMARY:1946: Women's Suffrage. The Story of a Long Journey
DESCRIPTION:In 1946\, Italian women voted for the first time. Eighty years after that historic turning point\, Milan hosts the city-wide event “1946: Women’s Suffrage. The Story of a Long Journey”\, which from October 1 to November 15 will involve 9 cultural venues in Milan in a journey that illustrates\, through images and installations\, the long road that led Italian women to achieve the right to vote. \nThe event\, promoted by Fondazione Anna Kuliscioff in collaboration with Unione Femminile Nazionale\, Museo del Risorgimento\, Archivio di Stato di Milano\, Fondazione Elvira Badaracco and Milanosifastoria\, aims not only to celebrate the 80th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the birth of the Italian Republic\, but also to provide an important opportunity to reflect on a particularly timely question: what value do we place on the right to vote today?\nThe initiative stems from the desire to reflect on the growing disengagement from electoral participation\, with particular attention to women and younger generations. \nA series of artistic installations located in various venues throughout the city\, composed of female silhouettes created by artist Chiara Corio and specially reconstructed ballot boxes\, create spaces for participation where the public will be invited to leave\, anonymously\, their reflections on the meaning of the right to vote and the reasons why it is sometimes not exercised today. \nOpening\nOctober 1\, 2026\, 5:30-7:30 PM\nat Unione Femminile Nazionale – Corso di Porta Nuova\, 32 – Milan \nView the program of events \n  \nFondazione Elvira Badaracco participates in the event by presenting on its website images of posters preserved in the archive dedicated to women’s voting during the two referendums on divorce and abortion in 1974 and 1981.

SUMMARY:From Labor Representation to the Right to Vote: Women in Trade Unions 1906–2026
DESCRIPTION:Two days of study promoted by the Municipality of Milan and the Archivio del Lavoro \nNovember 18–19\, 2026\nPalazzo Reale\, Conference Room\nPiazza Duomo 14\, Milan \nThe year 2026 marks two anniversaries that invite reflection on the relationship between democracy\, citizenship\, and labor: 120 years since the birth of the General Confederation of Labor (CGdL) and 80 years since Italian women first voted in a political election. These two historical turning points intersect to show how female emancipation was achieved not only through legislative victories\, but also through a long daily practice of participation\, organization\, and negotiation within and through the trade union movement. \nThe conference aims to investigate and bring this journey to light. From the birth of trade union organizations to contemporary battles\, the history of women workers in unions is a long path made of women’s leagues\, social demands\, collective bargaining\, political training\, and the construction of collective spaces where women were able to exercise—often before they could in the civil and institutional spheres—roles of representation\, responsibility\, and leadership. \nDelegating\, voting\, representing: these are all democratic acts that women experienced in trade unions well before 1946\, contributing to the growth of a democratic political culture and highlighting the profound link between the ability to organize in the workplace and the achievement of citizenship rights. \nCase studies\, testimonies\, research\, and audiovisual materials tell the story of women’s union life over the last few decades. A video dedicated to Milanese trade union feminism also serves as the starting point for a broader reflection on the role of women in the transformation of work and organizations. \nBy celebrating these anniversaries\, the conference aims to be not only a moment of study\, but an invitation to consider the trade union as a training ground for democracy—a place where entire generations of women have been able to exercise rights\, build solidarity\, and imagine social justice. \nDownload the program

SUMMARY:Sibilla Aleramo 1876–2026
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 19\, 2026\, 9:00 AM \nSapienza University of Rome\nFaculty of Letters and Philosophy\nOdeion Hall\nPiazzale Aldo Moro 5\, Rome \nOn the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sibilla Aleramo (1876–1960)\, Sapienza University of Rome and the Gramsci Foundation are organizing a conference to celebrate her work and intellectual legacy.  \nDifferent generations of scholars will explore the many facets of the author’s writing and cultural trajectory\, from the centrality of the novel A Woman to the forms of autobiographical writing and self-representation in the Diaries and in Passaggio\, from her editorial and journalistic experiences to her relationship with cinema and theater\, from her bond with Dino Campana to her international reception.  \nThe conference is dedicated\, on the occasion of her 80th birthday\, to Marina Zancan\, former President and current Guarantor of the Fondazione Elvira Badaracco\, who in 1995 founded the first Italian PhD program in the History of Women’s Writing at Sapienza\, making a decisive contribution to the rethinking of the literary canon and placing Aleramo’s profile at the center of critical and historiographical discourse. \nAn unveiling that recognizes its roots in the long excavation of the writer’s archive\, preserved at the Gramsci Foundation in Rome: a vast collection of letters\, manuscripts\, documents\, and bibliographic materials essential for reconstructing the genesis of her works\, her networks of relationships\, her writing and reading practices\, and the processes of constructing her own authorial image.  \nDownload the poster
