The essay investigates the cultural and political function assigned to the cinema by the Movimento Italiano Femminile, an organization of fascist origin established during the Second Postwar. This field of analysis is normally neglected by the historical reconnaissance, which focused on relations between cinema and political central and left-wing movements; it is also a tile to be added to the variegated mosaic of female film experience in the years following the conflict.
