Of the 556 people elected to the Constituent Assembly in Italy in June 1946, 21 women, diverse in terms of age, experience, ideals, and political culture, were among them. In that context, this 'group' felt the responsibility and took the opportunity to express a unified voice - in the name of equal rights - in some crucial areas: education, family, work. This paper analyses their contribution on the issue of equal rights at work. With their action, women are trying to obtain new spaces and enter those hitherto precluded to them: in politics, in productive activities, in institutions. A further crucial topic, briefly discussed here, is the fate that women’s demands in labour related topics have in the proposals of the CGIL (Italian General Confederation of Labour) in its unified phase.
