On this day, 14 March 2017, Spanish woodworkers’ union militant and member of the anti-Franco underground, Joaquina Dorado Pita died in Barcelona just short of her 100th birthday. During the civil war she was actively involved in the collectivisation of the timber industry, and afterwards she escaped from a French internment camp and joined the resistance movement in Spain. She was repeatedly arrested, and was sentenced to 15 years’ prison in 1952 but was released early due to becoming seriously ill. https://ift.tt/2CknfPw
