8, 9, 10 March 1974 – Women’s Bulletin No. 1
Drops of Memory.
Women’s struggles ran through the entire decade of the 1970s and beyond.
We are publishing in full the Women’s Bulletin of March 1974, produced by the Veneto Committee for Wages for Housework.
The document not only demands that the State provide a wage for domestic work carried out by women without pay, but also highlights several moments of struggle in the Veneto region.
For example, the struggles of the cleaning workers at the Faculty of Urban Planning in Venice, who fought for better working conditions and higher wages; or those of high‑school students campaigning for the abolition of the compulsory black apron.
And again, the struggles of university students living in Colleges and Student Housing who, unlike their male counterparts, were required to clean their rooms without compensation (in Italian).
