The author examines the life of Jane Elgee, Lady Wilde, who was born in Ireland in 1821. Later on Jane Elgee pretends that the name Elgee, is a variant of the Italian name Algiati, derived from Alighieri. That way, she builds an imaginary bound with Dante Alighieri. Later on Elgee uses a second name, Francesca, and when she starts writing and translating, she uses the pseudonym Speranza. Lady Wilde, Speranza, is fond of languages and translates from Russian, Turkish, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese, although her great merit is translation from French, Italian and other classical languages. Apart from translating, Jane Wilde writes eclectic works and an indictment against the social and economic exploitation of women.
