Constancia de la Mora in War and Exile: International Voice for the Spanish Republic

Constancia de la Mora's fame seemed guaranteed by the compelling story of her life. She had been an aristocrat turned Communist, a celebrated author, and an international political figure whose acquaintances and collaborators included Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, Tina Modotti, Vittorio Vidali, and Anna Seghers. Yet, surprisingly, instead of remaining a heroine of the Republic, Constancia de la Mora's memory somehow faded from Republican history. This book sets out to explore the life of this privileged woman who unexpectedly cast in her lot with that of the Spanish people.
