This study is dedicated to the analysis of the participation of the women auditors in the Council assembly and of some figures of great ecclesiastical importance who acted as transmission channels for petitions emerging from the Council. In addition, in-depth questions are analyzed: the issues within the counciliar debates and the final documents can be regarded as the first attempts to reflect on themes that are important to the lives of women. On the basis of this double perspective Vatican II appears to have served as a real dividing line for all that which concerns the Church’s recognition of the presence and role of women.
