SHAPING A “NEW SOCIAL HUMAN SUBJECT”: WOMEN’S SOLIDARITY NETWORKS IN EUROPE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

This essay aims to analyse the emergence of the first forms of women's associations, starting with the experience of Saint-Simonian women in France in the first half of the 19th century and their connections with experiences in Great Britain. It follows a chronology that begins with the revolutions of the contemporary era in order to examine the construction of networks of relationships over the long term, with particular attention to continuities and ruptures. It analyses a solidarity that arose from collective experiences such as the first magazines, in search of expressions of individuality that sought to build increasingly universal expressions and rights.
