Abstract: | When a failed military coup provoked civil war in Spain in July 1936, the Spanish government made a worldwide plea for assistance. More than 2,500 British men answered the call, taking up arms in defence of the democratically-elected Republican government. While this show of international solidarity has been widely documented, however, much less attention has been given to the massive response made by British women. Thousands of women organized nationwide campaigns to send aid to Spain. One of these women was Frida Stewart (1910–96), a young musician with a strong social conscience. As is the case with so many other women, Frida’s recollections, her memoir and correspondence, upon which the following narrative is closely based, constitute a valuable historical resource for the analysis of women’s experiences during the war and give voice to those whose stories have previously gone unheard. / Cuando un fallido golpe militar provocó la guerra civil en España en julio de 1936, el gobierno español lanzó una llamada a escala mundial solicitando ayuda. Más de 2.500 hombres británicos respondieron a aquella llamada y levantaron armas en defensa del gobierno republicano democráticamente elegido. Si bien esta muestra de solidaridad internacional ha sido ampliamente documentada, se ha prestado mucha menos atención a la respuesta masiva de las mujeres británicas. Miles de mujeres organizaron campañas a nivel nacional para enviar ayuda a España. Una de estas mujeres fue Frida Stewart (1910-1996), una joven músico con una fuerte conciencia social. Como es el caso de tantas otras mujeres, los recuerdos de Frida, sus memorias y correspondencia, sobre los que se basa estrechamente la siguiente narrativa, constituyen un valioso recurso histórico para el análisis de las experiencias de las mujeres durante la guerra y dan voz a aquéllas cuyas historias han ido sin ser escuchadas. |
