"Dear all,
We wanted to let you all know that our mum Liz Willis, author of the Radical History Network blog and Smothpubs Blogspot, sadly died on 10 November at Whipps Cross hospital in east London from pancreatic cancer.
Liz was born Elizabeth Smith in Stornoway on 21 October 1947, educated at Aberdeen and Belfast Universities, and, as you know, had a deep commitment to and interest in radical causes and history that lasted throughout her life."
"Liz Willis has a political background in YCND (Aberdeen), anarchism, and Solidarity (London). A main focus since 2006 has been the Radical History Network based in North East London and its blog (RADICAL HISTORY NETWORK (RaHN)). Her pamphlet ‘Women in the Spanish Revolution’ was published by the Solidarity group in 1975 and has been reprinted in various editions. She has self-published a few other small pamphlets, e.g. ‘Mary Wollstonecraft and the Doctors’ (2017)."
Sorry to hear that. I wasn't a close friend of Liz but I remember her from London Solidarity and she was still writing for us in our 'Solidarity for Social Revolution' phase in the late 1970's/early 80's.
