      abstract = {This book explores and traces the progressive activism and  radical ideas of several elite women in Italy beginning in  the early 20th century. It discusses the shared political  culture that shaped the thinking and the activity of these  women, mainly oriented towards political philanthropy and  work, seen as the cornerstone of a comprehensive  redefinition of gender relations. It also discusses the  connections linking them to an international network of  women involved in similar political actions and economic  initiatives addressing womens' interests, as well as their  legacy for the next generations. With essays from a range  of scholars, this book provides an interdisciplinary  framework for understanding these activists and deals with  methodological and historiographical issues in  reconstructing womens contribution to history. Elena  Laurenzi is Professor of the History of Political Thought  in the Department of History, University of Salento (Lecce,  Italy) and Visiting Professor at the University of  Barcelona (UB, Spain). Manuela Mosca is Full Professor of  the History of Economic Thought in the Department of  Economics, University of Salento (Lecce, Italy) and  Visiting Professor at the University of Bologna (Italy).},
