"An account of extraordinary artists and activists whose determination to live - and to create - with courage and conviction took them as far as the Spanish Civil War"-- Provided by publisher.
"An extraordinary account of the women artists and activists whose determination to live--and to create--with courage and conviction took them as far as the Spanish Civil War" -- inside front jacket flap.
The Spanish Civil War began when a military rebellion threated to overthrow the elected government in 1936. The conflict galvanized tens of thousands of volunteers from around the world who saw a clear choice: you were for fascism or you were against it. Watling became fascinated by the work of female writers and outsiders who wrote about the war, either as reporters or participants. From a variety of backgrounds and beliefs, these women saw history coming, and went out to meet it. Watling questions: Where is the line between solidarity and appropriation? Is writing about the revolution the same as actively participating in it? -- adapted from jacket
