Mothers without fathers or nothing more than a woman: gender and anarchism in the work of Federica Montseny, 1923–1929 - Andrew Hamilton Lee

A dissertation that focuses on Federica Montseny Mañe (1905–1994) to examine the cultural history of Spanish anarchism in the second half of the 1920s. The young Montseny wrote several hundred articles and works of fiction, all published by La Revista Blanca (1923–1936). Anarchism in the 1920s was not dormant but more visible in cultural activities, especially in the publishing of La Revista Blanca. The dissertation attempts to restore to the historical record Spanish anarchism’s cultural activities during the 1920s in order to gain a clearer understanding of the Second Republic and the libertarian movement’s actions during the thirties.
