Alaide Gualberta Beccari

She worked as her father's secretary for a time, then returned to Padua when it was captured by the forces of Lombardy-Venetia.

Beccari, like other Italian feminists of her generation (such as Erminia Fuà, Aurelia Cimino Folliero, Sara Nathan, Giovanna Garcea, and Adelaide Cairoli) equated women's emancipation with Italian unification politics, referring to "the woman's Risorgimento".

[2] The journal Woman gave coverage to Anna Maria Mozzoni, who fought to reform Italy's laws regulating legalized prostitution.

Articles originally printed in Woman were translated and published abroad, in England's feminist journal Englishwoman's Review.

In 1877, Woman held a petition drive, garnering 3000 signatures in support of women's suffrage in Italy.

She wrote Un caso di divorzio (A Case of Divorce), performed in 1881, which in retrospect has been criticized on its literary quality as "sentimental" and "predictable"; notably, there is no marriage for the second "wife" in the drama.
