her independence and joined the Russian Empire in the anti-Ottoman war, Maria Rosetti rallied funds to aid the wounded, establishing and managing the hospital in Turnu Măgurele. Maria and C. A. Rosetti had eight children, only four of whom reached adulthood. These were a daughter, Liberty Sofia (commonly known as Libby, born June 1848) and three sons born in exile: Mircea, Vintilă and Horia Rosetti. Her brother was himself a resident of Romania, and married to Zoe, the daughter of Wallachian landowner and politician Alexandru Racoviţă (among their children was the painter Nicolae Grant). Through her brother Effingham, who married into the Racoviţă family, Maria Rosetti was also distantly related with physician Carol Davila and his son, playwright Alexandru Davila. Death Upon her death, a large obituary was published in the National Liberal newspaper Voinţa Naţională, who proclaimed her one of the most outstanding Romanian women of her generation. Her writings of the 1860s were collected in an 1893 volume carrying Michelet's introduction. She is also one of the characters in Camil Petrescu's novel Un om între oameni. A street in central Bucharest, nearby Bulevardul Magheru, was named in her honor—it constitutes the eastward extension of C. A. Rosetti Street; a school in the Floreasca neighborhood of the city was also named after her. Several monographs on her life were published during the communist regime years.
