The life of a remarkable Italian woman Christina Belgiojoso-Trivulzio was an Italian noblewoman of the 19th century. She was a free thinking, independent woman determined to live her life as she thought fit, irrespective of any of the conventions that constrained other women of her time. Italy was occupied by Austria and the Italian people were desperate for freedom and nationhood. Christina took an active and often personally dangerous role in the struggle for Italian independence. Her associations with revolutionaries meant she was forced to flee the country on more than one occasion. In Paris she associated with Victor Hugo, Franz Liszt and Honore de Balzac among others. In the 1848 revolution she organised and financed troops and fought in the Milanese Uprising. Its failure again forcing her to flee, but she returned to support the short lived Roman Republic. Once again forced to flee Christina became a nomad, travelling through the near east and living for a time in Turkey. During this period she became a prolific journalist and author. This is an account of the extraordinary courage and conviction of an indomitable feminist.
