Abstract/Notes: Oggetto di analisi del presente saggio sono le annate del settimanale L’Alleanza, fondato a Pavia da Carmela Baricelli, una professoressa di Cremona, che intendeva, tramite il giornale, favorire un’alleanza di genere tra le donne, andando oltre gli schieramenti politici. Grazie alla sua intraprendenza, il giornale ebbe una durata maggiore rispetto a quella di testate analoghe, sorte in quel periodo, riscontrando una discreta diffusione nazionale in quanto si proponeva, a livello ufficiale, quale organo di collegamento tra i diversi comitati pro-suffragio. Come emerge da questa indagine, la rivista si caratterizzò non solo quale importante luogo di confronto fra le donne in merito alle questioni emergenti dell’emancipazionismo del tempo, ma anche come strumento di formazione e di autoformazione delle lettrici, in quanto queste risultavano essere, in molti casi, autrici di articoli, bozzetti, racconti, oltre ad apprendere le regole e le modalità per partecipare a congressi e ad assemblee. Dalle pagine del periodico emerge come un’intera generazione di donne abbia affrontato l’ampio spettro delle tematiche della cosiddetta «questione femminista». E ciò da parte delle esponenti più note (Maria Montessori, Teresa Labriola, Emilia Mariani e altre), come da parte di altre meno note, di cui si conosce assai poco sotto il profilo biografico, ma che hanno comunque offerto un apporto fondamentale al dibattito sorto all’interno della rivista. [This essay examines the annual issues of the weekly magazine L’Alleanza, which was founded in Pavia by Carmela Baricelli, a teacher from Cremona, whose aim was to use the magazine to promote a gender alliance among women, beyond different political parties. Thanks to her resourcefulness and self-initiative, the magazine lasted longer than other similar publications of the time, achieving a good national circulation, as it officially put itself forward as a “liaison body” for the various pro-suffrage committees. As this research points out, L’Alleanza was not only an important forum on which women could discuss the emerging emancipationist issues of the time, but also a training and self-education tool for its readers who, in many cases, wrote articles, short news items and stories, at the same time learning rules and procedures for participating in congresses and assemblies. The pages of the journal reveal how an entire generation of women dealt with the broad spectrum of themes associated with the “Feminist issue”: not only the leading figures of the time (Maria Montessori, Teresa Labriola, Emilia Mariani and others), but also those less well known, about whom we have very little biographical information, but who nevertheless made a fundamental contribution to the debate generated in the journal.]

Abstract/Notes: This reflection paper is the result of an analytical exercise around the experiences of Maria Montessori as a scholar and feminist woman between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Following a chronological order —not necessarily linear— of the most significant historical aspects analyzed in the light of different sources of study (conferences, books, research, articles, among others), it is intended to highlight the particular influence of the pedagogical elaborations of a woman in the educational field; a woman who lived in a time when social and cultural reality only valued the female role as a homemaker and denied their value in science, still, she manages to venture into the academic and research territory. I present comments and reflections of this excursus aiming to restore, to a certain extent, the philosophical dignity of the renowned pedagogue, that is, the vindication of her thought beyond the Method application perspective. The emphasis is on examining the pedagogical work of Maria Montessori under a lens that amplifies the reflection of a life characterized by a properly feminine and feminist style in an Italy that, galloping between the old and the new century, saw the birth of a New emancipated Woman, able to confront the positivism of the macho monopoly of her time. Consequently, this philosopher, anthropologist, doctor, pedagogue and feminist —with the help of an important participation of women who marked her history— establishes a complete educational revolution in Italy, and later international impact.
