bourgeoisie, Trieste, women, animal care, associationsAbstract
In the article, the author presents the association Società Zoofila founded in 1852 and based in Trieste. The membership joined forces to improve the circumstances in which the animals lived. They organized regular meetings to critically discuss the suffering of a wide variety of animals. With lectures, various publications, public debates, denunciations, rewards, and appeals to the supervisory authorities, they also addressed the general population. This kind of interest in the protection of animals arose in the 19th century in European cities. It spread among the progress oriented urban elite, which is also true in the case of Trieste’s association, where the local elite gathered. The class belonging does not separate this association from other Triestine associations, rather its above-average involvement of women or, more precisely, ladies or members of the local nobility and bourgeoisie. In this article, the author presents the association and illuminates if and how the Società Zoofila can also be understood as emancipatory, i.e. as a possible outpost on the path to women's equality.
