Acclamata come figura poliedrica del primo Novecento italiano, si distinse per il suo impegno politico, sociale e letterario. Voce autorevole nella difesa dei diritti delle lavoratrici e precorritrice del femminismo, è stata definita da Maria Rosa Cutrufelli «la leonessa del socialismo» (2022). La critica ha riconosciuto in lei un’attivista, sindacalista e giornalista di grande rilievo, sottolineando il valore fondativo della sua azione e del suo pensiero. I suoi discorsi politici e i suoi scritti letterari contribuiscono a illuminare l’eredità culturale e l’impatto che ebbe sulla storia delle donne e sulla cultura italiana della prima metà del 20° secolo.

A authoritative voice in the defense of working women's rights and a forerunner of feminism, she has been described by Maria Rosa Cutrufelli as "the lioness of socialism" (2022). Scholars have recognized in her an activist, trade unionist, and journalist of considerable prominence, emphasizing the foundational significance of both her actions and her thought. Her political speeches and literary writings contribute to illuminating the cultural legacy and the impact she exerted on the history of women and on Italian culture during the first half of the twentieth century.
