Paul Preston on women and the Spanish Civil War 

Recorded at the IBMT’s Len Crome Memorial Conference in Manchester on 12 March 2016, Professor Paul Preston explains how ‘the Spanish Republic had given much to women and Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War took away much more’. The conference was called ‘Women and the Spanish Civil War’. Paul Preston, who is the author of 'The Doves of War: Four Women of the Spanish Civil War' and many other books on modern Spanish history, was one of four main speakers at the conference. The others were Helen Graham, Sylvia Martin and Linda Palfreeman.
