Comitato pro suffragio femminile
Ipigott: creating article on the Italian Comitato pro suffragio femminile (Committee for Women's Suffrage)
The '''Comitato pro suffragio femminile''' (Committee for Women's Suffrage) was an Italian organization founded in 1905 in support of [[women's suffrage|women's voting rights]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Among the most active participants were [[Anna Maria Mozzoni]], [[Linda Malnati]] and [[Carlotta Clerici]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
Established in [[Rome]], the Committee was affiliated to the [[International Women Suffrage Alliance]]. As such, it was independent of any political or religious preferences. Its principal objectives were to promote, defend and support the women's suffrage movement; to become the focus of action by regional committees; to set up committees in cities where they were absent; and to unite Italian women fighting for voting rights, exploring all legal avenues for obtaining the right for them to vote.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
In 1906, on behalf of the committee, Mozzoni presented a petition to the Italian Parliament inviting the deputies to discuss granting voting rights to women. While sensitizing parliamentarians to the issue, it was also effective in forming a basis for discussion by women throughout the country.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
