Abstract

Gender represents a pivotal category for analyzing the practices and objectives of the organizations opposed to military and civil nuclear power and for interpreting their dynamics. Starting from this consideration, the essay aims to reconstruct some of the main events relating to women’s protagonism in the Italian anti-nuclear movements over a wide chronological period, between the 1950s and the 1980s, trying to capture elements of continuity and discontinuity, interweaving, innovation and international influences. The essay also questions the interactions between pacifism, anti-nuclearism and environmentalism and the construction of a female leadership.

Keywords: gender, women, anti-nuclear movements, pacifism, environmentalism
