CABRINI is described in a press release as:
CABRINI tells the taut, timely story of a pioneering social activist who championed the empowerment of women and the rights of immigrants – at a time when women were second-class citizens, and the immigrants she served were considered barely human.
Along the way, she proved herself to be among the greatest entrepreneurs of the 19th Century – a woman who began with nothing and created the largest charitable empire the world had ever known… truly an empire of hope.
CABRINI charts the rise of an audacious and remarkable woman who overcame the sexism and virulent anti-Italian bigotry of 19th Century New York to transform the lives of countless human beings worldwide.”
