Sibylla Aleramo was born in the province of Alessandria and at birth received the name Rina Faccio ( Italian: Rina Faccio ). At 16, she was forced to leave school and marry the man who raped her [3] . In 1901, Aleramo decided to leave her husband and son and move to Rome, which she later described in her first book. In Rome, she revolved in political and artistic circles, creating works of feminist and homosexual themes. Aleramo participated in the creation of public schools in the Roman region. Corresponded with M. Gorky and M.F. Andreeva , whom she met in 1912 in Sorrento. She was acquainted with Vyacheslav Ivanov. She was friends with a doctor, writer and translator Olga Signorelli (Olga Signorelli). In 1908, at one of the women's congresses, Aleramo met Cordula Lina Poletti , and their lesbian relationship, which lasted for one year, formed the basis of Aleramo’s new novel “Transition” ( Italian: Il passaggio ). Aleramo’s personal correspondence with Poletti later began to be of interest to researchers, as both women expressed an open mind about homosexual relationships. Later she was an active participant in the society "Italy - USSR". In 1952 she visited the USSR.
Subsequently, Sibylla Aleramo became one of the most prominent Italian feminists. In old age she traveled to Europe, after the Second World War she joined the Italian Communist Party . Died at the age of 83 in Rome after a long illness.
