During the Second World War Fascism sent a large number of women to internment camps. This article describes the structures that exclusively housed women and reconstructs who these women were, the reasons for which they were interned, and what led them to be totally uprooted from everyday life. Many experienced segregation as a parenthesis, but for others it was the beginning of a different life, always separate from their previous one. For some, therefore, it was the beginning of a “descent into hell” that would lead to Auschwitz and almost always to death.
