Fascist ideology called for women to return to home and hearth, yet in Italy millions of women continued to work throughout the interwar period despite the precepts of Mussolini's regime. The Clockwork Factory focuses on the history of Magneti Marelli--perhaps the most modern, Americanized firm in Italy at this time--and its female workers. Perry R.
