I'm very interested in the Spanish Civil War but had not heard of her. I'll try find more. Thanks for this post.

There’s a documentary film and a book , both worth seeking out.

Note the article uses a stalinist memorial to the people who she had to flee because they were going to kill her for illustration. Good call.

If you want more i suggest as well as what danny mentions you have a look at John Taylor Caldwell's biography of Guy Aldred and the two volumes of his own autobiography.

Usual sloppy bourgeois journalism innit.

Bump because I just read the Kate Sharpley pamphlet on her. Incredible stuff. I'm particularly impressed by how she was able to grasp the delicate nature of the fractures between all these various and constantly shifting groups in Barcelona at a time when, by her own admittance, her level of Spanish was rudimentary at best.
