Focusing on the contributions of transnational British-Italian women, this book explores how they transformed traditional feminine roles into impactful activism during the Italian Unification. Figures like Mary Chambers and Jessie White Mario defied societal norms, engaging in fundraising and memory collection to support state-building efforts. The narrative highlights their roles in the female emancipation movement and emphasizes the significance of non-Catholic and non-Italian women in shaping Italy's political landscape, while also addressing the enduring influence of religion in 19th-century philanthropy.
