Salvatore Morelli
Salvatore Morelli was an Italian politician and a member of the Mazzinian movement who, in 1867, introduced a draft law advocating for women's political rights. His proposal, which called for equal legal standing between men and women, was seen as revolutionary for its time, although it ultimately faced significant opposition and was never discussed in parliament.
