Dora D’istria: Mapping the Cultural Transfer of Intimacy at the “Fringes” of Europe. The present paper examines two texts by Dora D’Istria dealing with women’s emancipation and empowerment in the mid-nineteenth century. Thus, we shall analyze how women situated their experience against the discourses that regulated intimacy in the context of nation-building in that respective period.
