Italy’s far-Right Brothers of Italy party looks to have taken the largest share of the votes in the country’s general election – with its leader, Giorgia Meloni, set to become Italy’s first female prime minister.
A Meloni premiership has been the topic of much debate in recent weeks, as commentators in both the Italian press and overseas ask if it could be a step forward for women, or even for feminism.
Hillary Clinton, the US former secretary of state, even recently said: “The election of the first woman prime minister in a country always represents a break with the past, and that is certainly a good thing.”
