During World War II, Agnelli worked at times as a nurse for the [[Red Cross]], and when transport became unobtainable in the postwar chaos she used her connections with Fiat and the Allied military to establish for the Red Cross a fleet of five ambulances with ten drivers to transport injured and sick civilians.<ref>{{cite book|last=Agnelli|first=Susanna|date=1975|title=We Always Wore Sailor Suits|edition=1st|location=London|publisher=Corgi|pages=197–211|isbn=05-52-10530-9}}</ref> Having graduated in [[literature]], she received an [[honorary degree]] in [[law]] from the Mount Holyoke University in 1984.<ref name="Le rose di Asfarm 2006, pp. 152–153">{{cite web|url=https://www.lerosediasfarm.it/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/indice-rose.pdf|title=Il Roseto 'Rosa della Pace'|website=Le rose di Asfarm|language=it|date=June 2006|pages=152–153|access-date=16 February 2023}}</ref>
== Politics == Politically, the Agnelli family sought to create a non-ideological, [[centrist]] political formation of [[Atlanticist]] and [[pro-European]] persuasion that sought a modernizing, internationalist capitalism in contrast to the left and opposed to the populist, nationalist, or fascist right.<ref>{{cite web|last=Cingolani|first=Stefano|date=24 January 2013|url=https://www.linkiesta.it/2013/01/quando-agnelli-disse-berlusconi-in-politica-prende-il-3/|title=Quando Agnelli disse: 'Berlusconi in politica?

Both her great-grandfather and grandfather, [[Giovanni Agnelli]], had been mayors in their time. Agnelli served as mayor for a decade from 1974 to 1984. The experience inspired her to enter national politics. Agnelli was elected to the [[Italian Parliament]] in 1976 for the [[Italian Republican Party]] (PRI), of which her brother [[Gianni Agnelli]] was also close. In 1979, still for the PRI, she was an MEP in the [[European Parliament]] from 1979 to 1981 and sat in the [[European Liberals and Democrats]] group.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.televideo.rai.it/televideo/pub/articolo.jsp?id=2156|title=Addio a Susanna Agnelli|publisher=RAI|language=it|date=15 May 2009|access-date=16 February 2023}}</ref> In 1983, she returned to the Italian Parliament, becoming a member of the [[Senate of the Republic (Italy)|Senate of the Republic]]. The culmination of her political career was her appointment as the first female [[Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs]] in 1995; it was not until 2013 that [[Emma Bonino]] became the next female incumbent of the post. Agnelli served for more than a year, which in the fragile politics of postwar Italy makes her one of the most long-lasting holders of the office.<ref name="Donadio 2009"/> One of her first meetings was with then [[United States Secretary of State]], [[Warren Christopher]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/28/world/christopher-feeling-fit.html|title=Christopher Feeling Fit|work=The New York Times|date=28 February 1995|page=8|issn=0362-4331|access-date=16 February 2023}}</ref>
