'Jackson provides an overview with an impressive range of archival sources' - Independent 'It is fascinating to consider the subject from a different perspective, namely through the experiences of some of the many British women who went to support the Republican cause - as told in Angela Jackson's detailed, very personal and very moving book.' - Eastern Daily Express

Angela Jackson breaks new ground in her study of British women during the Spanish Civil War. The rebellion led by General Fancisco Franco in 1936 against the democratically elected Second Spanish Republic stirred thousands of women and men in Great Britain to act in support of the republic. In addition, however, were women who served as nurses, administrators, journalists, and in a number of other capacities..Jackson points out that these women remain not just hidden from conventional studies of the period but also hidden from feminist history.. <br>-James K. Hopkins, Southern Methodist University <br>

Author Information

Angela Jackson, married with two children, became a mature student in her mid-forties. For her, it was to be an experience that justified the claims made for adult education regarding the opening up of new horizons. A first class degree in History at Anglia Polytechnic University led to a PhD at the University of Essex and the writing of this book. Her interest in the subject continues and she is now carrying out further research on remembrance of the war.
