After marrying in 1912, Chimenti returned to Morocco where she helped her mother open an Italian school in Tangier in 1914, and would go on to teach there for many years. [2] However, due to Mussolini gaining power years later and with Chimenti being opposed to him, she was unable to continue running her school and became a full time journalist in the meantime. Her writing centered largely around the people of Morocco, mainly women, as well as studying the different communities throughout Morocco.[3]
