This book highlights thirteen women who risked their lives during the Spanish Civil War, many of whom remain largely unknown today. Coming from across Europe, they arrived in Barcelona and Catalonia fleeing Nazism or seeking personal and creative freedom, reaffirming their deep commitment against emerging fascism. Some joined the front as militiawomen, while others fought in the rearguard through writing, photography, teaching, or nursing.
Featured figures include Margaret Michaelis, Mary Low, Simone Weil, Emma Goldman, Clara Thalmann, Kati Horna, and Nancy Cunard. For most of them, their time in Catalonia, amidst the turbulent battle of arms and ideologies, was the defining period of their lives. An essential work for recovering historical memory and the role of internationalist women in the Spanish conflict.
