Giuseppina Martinuzzi

Biography

[edit]

Personal life

[edit]

Martinuzzi was born in Labin to Antonia Luis and Giovanni Pietro Martinuzzi (mayor of Labin); she was the eldest of three children.[4] She qualified as a teacher in 1875.[5]

She lived a long time in Trieste, where she taught in the poor neighbourhoods of the city,[6] helping with the integration of the Slovenians and fighting against narrow nationalistic municipalism. In 1904 she was elected to Trieste municipal council.[7]

She joined the Communist Party of Italy in 1921 and soon founded, and became the political secretary of, the Women's Communist Group of Trieste.[6][8] She was a leading light in the Women's Socialist Circle and wrote numerous political tracts for the emancipation of women.[2] In her last prose work, Fra italiani e slavi, she expresses her ideal of pacifism and ethnic integration.[2]

A primary school is named after her in Pula.[9]
