At the same time, Savari had a career on stage as both an actress and an opera singer, including a leading role in Alceste by Gluck.

[1] She was a pupil and friend of the noted French actress Marie Léonide Charvin (known as Agar).

In 1895 Savari tried to persuade the municipal council of Paris to create a commemorative plaque for Marguerite Porete, a French medieval mystic, who was burnt at the stake for heresy in Paris in 1310, after she refused to refusing to remove her book, The Mirror of Simple Souls, from circulation or to recant her views.

Savari was a noted feminist, and founder and chair of the Fédération française des sociétés féministes, a union of professional French women.

[6] With aims driven by her practical feminism and her desire to educate the public about women's rights and their industry and economic contributions, Savari organised the exposition internationale des arts et métiers féminins and its associated conference the Congrès du travail, in Paris over four months from 25 June to 30 October 1902.
