On this day, 14 April 1931, radical workers attacked the Amalia women’s prison in Barcelona freeing the prisoners therein. Anarchist Maria Rius was one of the women involved in the assault, who had previously been jailed for planning jailbreaks. She later took part in the Spanish Civil War and revolution, joining the Hilario Zamora Column, and fled to France following the defeat of the Republic.
