Description
Book SynopsisMilicianas provides a comprehensive picture of what life was like for the women who fought alongside their male comrades during the first year of the Spanish Civil War, focusing on how the women themselves viewed this experience.
Trade ReviewLines hauls the milicianas from the margins of history and exposes them—with both sympathy and rigor—to the scholarly appraisal they deserve. This is a book for all who are interested in the Spanish Civil War. -- Peter Monteath, The Flinders University of South Australia
