Gina Lombroso

Gina Elena Zefora Lombroso (5 October 1872 in Pavia – 27 March 1944 in Geneva) was an Italian physician, writer, psychiatrist, and criminologist, best remembered for her uncredited writings on the subjects of criminology and psychiatry co-authored with her father Cesare Lombroso, her individual writings on the female condition and industrialisation. She was the wife of Italian historian and writer Guglielmo Ferrero (1871–1942) and hence adopted the surname Ferrero-Lombroso. Their son Leo Ferrero (1903–1933), a writer and playwright, died in a car accident in Santa Fe (USA). All three are buried at the Cimetière des Rois in Geneva, Switzerland.
