I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:13, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for picking her up Sturmvogel 66. Looking forward to improving the article and appreciate your collaboration. SusunW (talk) 18:19, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

• Images appropriately licensed
• A little too much family and educational detail in the lede. Some of that info could profitably be moved into the main body.

• Everything in the lede was pulled from cited information already in the body, so I didn't move anything, but trimmed it. Better? SusunW (talk) 14:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• Her first book Whose book? These unclear antecedents is a repeated issue as you mention an activist and then use pronouns immediately following which leaves it unclear who you're referring to.

• Thanks for this. I've run through it and think I made it more clear. SusunW (talk) 14:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• Did Tango Piatti have a falling out with other Italian activists to not get an invitation to the Grenoble congress?

• Not that I can tell. Feminist and pacifist organizations were targeted by fascist and Nazi regimes because they had high Jewish memberships and because their members typically did not conform to the ideals of the regimes. (Weird that we don't have an article on Women in Fascist Italy, but it was similar to Nazi Germany's stance. Woman=baby maker and unemployed wife.) Both regimes targeted feminist and pacifist organizations, forced their closure, and the Nazi's actually confiscated their records. Members went into hiding or exile, lost touch with each other, and found it difficult to send correspondence to the international WILPF office. Maria Grazia Suriano describes the chaotic period and the lack of understanding the international office had with what was going on in Italy. No idea why the headquarters didn't respond to Tango Piatti. Maybe they did and it was confiscated? (It seems quite logical to me that the new members who attended the Grenoble conference would have wanted to distance themselves from members who were being targeted by the government.)

• I'd suggest combining the last two sections in the main body as the MOS disapproves of single-paragraph sections.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• done. SusunW (talk) 14:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
