Birth Name: Jessie Jane Meriton White
Pseudonym: J. W.
Pseudonym: G de F
Married Name: Jessie Jane Meriton Mario
Nickname: Miss Urigano
JWM made her literary debut in Eliza Cook's Journal, but it was her involvement in the Italian Risorgimento (sometimes as a spy) that fostered her career as a journalist, translator, propagandist, lecturer, and biographer. Her service as a field nurse during Garibaldi 's various campaigns informed her war correspondence printed in English and American periodicals. From 1866 until her death in 1906, she wrote one hundred and forty-three articles on Italian life and politics for the Nation. She also penned important biographies of many Italian figures, including Garibaldi and Mazzini .
