"This book examines how a group of transnational British-Italian
women affiliated with the exiled patriots of the Italian Left
repurposed traditionally feminine activities, such as fundraising,
gift-giving, maternity, and memory collection, to make a
substantial contribution to Italian Unification and state-building.
Through their actions, Mary Chambers, Sara Nathan, Giorgina Saffi,
Julia Salis Schwabe, and Jessie White Mario transcended the
boundaries of acceptable behavior for middle-class women and
participated in the broader female emancipation movement. By
drawing attention to their activities, this book reveals how
nineteenth-century female activists achieved their most
revolutionary goals by using conservative, domestic, or
anti-Catholic language. Adding to the growing understanding of the
Italian Risorgimento as a transnational phenomenon, it also shows
how non-Catholic and non-Italian women participated in the creation
and development of the Italian state. Finally, the book argues for
the continuing importance of religion in both politics and
philanthropy throughout the nineteenth century."
