Fireside Chat with Etta Madden

Join The Library Company for a virtual Fireside Chat with Etta Madden, titled “Mr. Kate Cromo”: News Correspondent Anne Hampton Brewster in Rome, 1869-1890. 

American women abroad have often been more than tourists. In this Fireside Chat, Etta Madden will share her research on Anne Hamptom Brewster from her recent book Engaging Italy: American Women’s Utopian Visions and Transnational Networks. Engaging Italy depicts the intertwined lives of three now-little-known figures—Caroline Crane Marsh, Anne Hampton Brewster and Emily Bliss Gould—whose paths crossed as they lived abroad for more than fifteen years. These women seized opportunities to be engaged in the political changes of the 1860s and 70s known as Italian Unification.
