| Immediately after the outbreak of World War One, women in Trentino, who were now charged with the responsibility of maintaining their families, found a ready source of sustenance in the military installations on the Tyrolean frontier with the Kingdom of Italy, where a solid defensive line was being constructed. Taken on initially as normal labourers, from the summer of 1915 onwards they were organized into militarized units finding employment as workers and porters, including in locations exposed to Italian artillery fire. The news of this deployment of a small army of ‘women-soldiers’ was soon exploited by Italian propaganda as proof of the Habsburg army’s lack of humanity. In Trentino, as elsewhere, there were protests from the clergy, who saw in women’s living alongside soldiers and workers a source of scandals and moral decline. | |
