workingclasshistory:

On this day, 17 April 2014, Spanish machinist and civil war fighter Concha Perez Collado died aged 99. Prior to the civil war she took part in jail breaks, insurrectionary strikes, learned how to use bombs and pistols and helped set up a rationalist free school. With the outbreak of the revolution she joined the fighting at the front, until shamefully women were prohibited from fighting. During the May Days of 1937 she was wounded in an ambush by Communist Party forces, but she survived the war and indeed Franco, taking part in rebuilding the anarchist CNT union after his death, remaining active until the end.
