Daniela Magnanti poses in front of the Santa Severa castle, Friday, March 5, 2021 where she has a part-time work at the check-in desk of a hotel that opened in the castle. Worldwide, working women paid a high price during the pandemic as many quit jobs to care for children when schools closed. But Italy's women went into the crisis already struggling for decades to expand their presence in the national workforce. Among the 27 European Union nations, Italian women rank next to the bottom, after Greek women, in terms of percentage in national workforces. Among young women, Italians rank the lowest.

FILE - In this Sept. 29, 2020 file photo, Eddie Collantes stands with an American flag draped around his shoulders as he attends a debate watch party hosted by the Miami Young Republicans, Latinos for Trump, and other groups in Miami. President Donald Trump is putting up a fight for Latino voters in key swing states with Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Polls show Biden with a commanding overall lead with Hispanic voters, a diverse group that defies neat political categories. Still, about 3 in 10 registered Latino voters nationwide back Trump, roughly consistent with how Latinos voted in 2018 congressional elections and in 2016. Latino men, like men of other races, support Trump more than Hispanic women. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky, File)
