Women and the Spanish Civil War

This is the second in a series of short films under the title ‘Volunteers for Liberty: Archives and memory – preserving the story of the International Brigades’, which are being produced by Platform Films for the IBMT and the Marx Memorial Library. The first film was on trade unions and the Spanish Civil War. Another three films will follow in coming months, on the themes of anti-fascism, refugees and political activism. The films publicise the extensive archives of the International Brigades and Spanish Civil War held by the Marx Memorial Library, which were digitally catalogued in 2017/18 in a project in which the IBMT was a partner and which received funding from The National Archives.
