Ernestina Cravello

[3] Together with Maria Roda and Ninfa Baronio, she co-founded Paterson's Gruppo Emancipazione della Donna (Women's Emancipation Group) in 1897.

Afterwards she claimed to have been misquoted: They are only right in the fact that I am an anarchist, this is because I am moved by the suffering of hundreds of millions of workers and I struggle for a world in which such exploitation is no longer possible.

Her youth and feminine beauty also attracted attention; one reporter described her as "young, pretty, and spirited," adding: Her dark brown hair was carried back in pompadour fashion from her face.

On July 31, Il Progresso Italo-Americano reported that she had been pursued by a mob as she left work at the factory, and managed to escape lynching only because the police intervened.

"[3] Cravello eventually withdrew from public life and raised five children with her companion, Paolo Ferre, but never gave up her faith in the anarchist cause.
