Zusammenfassung: | At the turn of the twentieth century the Catholic Church promoted women’s associations in an attempt to reassert Christianity in a struggle against its liberal and socialist adversaries. Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Rerum novarum (1891) called on Catholics to address a raft of serious problems resulting from social and economic transformations. This gave rise to a Christian Democratic movement and, within it, to Catholic feminism. Focusing on two Catholic women’s periodicals, L’azione muliebre and Pensiero e azione, the author studies the emergence and the nature of Catholic feminism as well as its suppression by the Church. |
