Mujeres Libres. Free Women of Spain: Anarchism and the Struggle for Women's Emancipation

You can't make history without courage, and the women of "Mujeres Libres" certainly had no shortage of it. In the midst of the Spanish Revolution, they fought for women's rights within the anarchist organizations of their time, for universal freedom, and against fascism. They focused on education, healthcare, and working conditions. More than 20,000 women were members of "Mujeres Libres".

This book collects testimonies of the dizzying possibilities of revolution and events that can serve as a lesson and resonate with all those involved in contemporary social movements. It is a call for unity, especially among women, and a call for equality not after the revolution, but right now. Martha A. Ackelsberg has preserved the words of "Mujeres Libres" for us in the pages of this inspiring work.
