Chapters in this book examine Vivanti’s output from multiple perspectives, taking into account her politics and her career as a journalist, writer, and singer, as well as her literary work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe academic rigor and the plurality of viewpoints of this edited collection serve well to offer scholarly readership a composite account of Vivanti’s polyhedric personality and  writings.
