This manuscript addresses the decision of the Canadian government in 1943 to send a Corps to participate in the invasion of Italy. In the process, Canada divided its forces in Europe into two groups, so wrecking an established military and political principle, to keep all its soldiers in Europe under unified Canadian command. The author concludes that confusion, incompetence and crossed wires among Canadian politicians and generals produced this decision, allowing ephemeral political needs to compromise greater aims.

Investigates the Massaie Rurali, the largest fascist women's organization in Italy during the early 20th century. A historical overview of the development of this organization of rural housewives under Regina Terruzzi, the Massaie's activities & objectives, the impact of propaganda on the organization's newspaper, & the services provided by the Massaie (eg, helping members sell produce) is presented. Although control of the Massaie was transfered to the Fasci Femminili, a fascist organization of middle-class women, during the 1930s, peasant Massaie composed a majority of its members. Despite the organization's obsession with preserving the rural lifestyle & traditional gender roles, it is noted that rural female activities were finally perceived as contributing to the fascist nation's development. It is concluded that the Massaie Rurali played a significant role in the future mobilization & politicization of women in Italy. J. W. Parker
