Fighting women<\/em>\u00a0is a choral book, a set of interviews conducted with Spanish women who took part in the civil war. Some took up arms and fought on the front, others joined the POUM, Free Women or different anarchist groups. They all fought against Francoism and for the emancipation of women, and together they achieved social advances as significant as free abortion. They undertook a whole revolution, and to do so they not only had to face fascism, but also, sometimes, their own comrades.<\/span><\/p>\n
