A Revolutionary Princess: Christina Belgiojoso-Trivulzio, Her Life And Times, 1808-1871 is a biography written by Henry Remsen Whitehouse in 1906. The book tells the story of Christina Belgiojoso-Trivulzio, an Italian princess who was born in 1808 and lived through a period of great political and social change in Europe. The daughter of an aristocratic family, Christina was educated in a convent and married at a young age to a nobleman. However, she soon became disillusioned with the restrictions placed on women in her society and began to advocate for women's rights and social reform. As a writer, publisher, and political activist, Christina played a significant role in the Italian Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification. She used her position and influence to support the cause of Italian independence and to promote the rights of women and the poor. She also traveled extensively throughout Europe, meeting with other intellectuals and political leaders, including Giuseppe Mazzini and Victor Hugo. The book provides a detailed account of Christina's life and accomplishments, as well as the historical context in which she lived. It explores her relationships with other prominent figures of the time, her struggles and triumphs, and the impact she had on the political and cultural landscape of Italy and Europe. Overall, A Revolutionary Princess is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable woman who defied convention and helped to shape the course of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
