Abstract
ABSTRACTAmelia Pincherle Rosselli's dramatic works evidence a commitment to early feminist principles – a contribution that has been largely neglected by the Italian theatrical canon. Rosselli's plays treat domestic themes such as marriage, family, and the home in order to comment incisively on the political, social, and juridical status of women in Liberal Italy. Rosselli defies the prevailing theatrical conventions of naturalist drama and uses theatre specifically as a means by which to observe and critique her contemporary political and cultural milieu. Her plays should be read in light of her political engagement, activism, and commitment to progressive causes, all of which were fostered by her upbringing in an intellectual Venetian-Jewish household whose members were dedicated to Mazzini's democratic principles.
