ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Franca Rame

Franca Rame was a lady who lived in Italy a long time ago. She was a very talented actress and writer, and she used her skills to speak up for women's rights and the need for equality between men and women.

Franca believed that women were just as important as men and should have the same rights and opportunities. She talked about these ideas a lot in her shows and performances, and many people listened to her and agreed.

But even though she was very brave and strong, Franca had some hard times too. Some people didn't like what she was saying, and they tried to hurt her and stop her from speaking out.

Despite all this, Franca kept fighting for what she believed in until she passed away in 2013. She was an important advocate for women's rights, and her work inspired many others to continue the fight for equality.
