The Contrasting Trajectories of Women's Emancipation in the Interwar Years in Germany, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain

This Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) offers an in-depth exploration of the contrasting trajectories of women’s emancipation in five major European countries—Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain—during the pivotal interwar period (1918–1939). These two decades, marked by the aftermath of the First World War, the rise of authoritarian regimes, economic crises, and profound social transformations, provide a rich and complex context for analyzing the evolution of women’s roles and representations in both public and private spheres.
