Emigranti by Anna Moroni Parken was published in Milan in its 1st edition in 1896, followed by a 2nd edition in 1907, with the additional subtitle QUATTRO ANNI AL CANADÀ. This memoir adds a compelling voice to the partially unknown narrative of nineteenth century
migrant women, as well as an example of life writing outside some established categories. And yet, it remains for the most part overlooked or ignored.
Anna Moroni Parken: un’autobiografia transculturale del Canada dei pionieri
Emigranti di Anna Moroni Parken fu pubblicato a Milano in prima edizione nel 1896, seguita da una seconda edizione nel 1907, col sottotitolo QUATTRO ANNI AL CANADÀ. Questo memoriale aggiunge una voce attraente alla poco conosciuta narrativa dell’immigrazione
femminile, nonché un esempio di autobiografia fuori da alcune categorie prestabilite. Ciononostante, rimane per lo più trascurato o ignorato.
