Sibilla Aleramo (1876–1960) was an Italian writer, journalist, and a pioneer of feminism. She grew up in Milan and Civitanova Marche and initially worked in her father’s glass factory. At seventeen, she married a factory employee and became the mother of a son. She later established herself as a journalist and advocated equality and social issues. She became known for her autobiographically inspired novel *A Woman* (*Una donna*, 1906), which was translated into several languages and attracted international attention. After its publication, she devoted herself increasingly to journalism and poetry.
