Excerpt: Luisa Carnés (3 January 1905 – 12 March 1964) was a Spanish fiction writer and journalist... She was a member of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) and an advocate for women's suffrage. An avid defender of the Spanish Republic, after the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, she wrote articles and plays in its defense. When the Spanish Republic fell in 1939, she crossed the border to France and from there sailed to Mexico, where, like many Spanish Republicans, she was granted asylum. She remained in Mexico until her death in 1964 in a car accident….Long forgotten in Spain, since 2002 much of her work has been brought back into print…(Submitted on December 3, 2022.)
