The article analyses the emergence of Christian neo-feminism, which gained autonomy with the battle against the abrogation of divorce. In those years, Catholic women, who no longer constituted a unitary subject, were at the forefront of the critique of the family model, which had already been revived by the publication of the encyclical Humanae vitae. Significant in this context is the questioning of concordat marriages, which signals the existence of a multiplicity of paths aimed at reconciling Christian life and modernity.

Keywords: Catholic neo-feminism, divorce, anticoncordant marriages
