Encarnación Fuyola Miret was born in Huesca, Aragon on 3 September 1907 in her parents' home on calle Vega Armijo.

Her father was a science assistant at the Huesca teachers' training college, and from 1923 owned a private school on Calle de Santa Paciencia.

Encarnación Fuyola was able to study at the Faculty of Sciences of the Central University of Madrid from 1925 to 1929, which was unusual for a woman at the time.

[1] Before that she belonged to Rebelión, a group of young and independent socialists that included Navarro Ballesteros and Fernández Checa.

Her commitment to Communist ideals and her political abilities led to her being proposed by her comrades as candidate for Huesca and Zaragoza in the election of deputies to the Cortes in November 1933.

[1] In mid-1933 the World Committee Against War and Fascism sent a delegation to Spain to contact women interesting in forming a local branch.

Fuyola joined the newly formed National Committee of Women Against War and Fascism, as did Dolores Ibárruri, Lucía Barón and Irene Falcón.

[4] Encarnación Fuyola, Dolores Ibárruri and others launched the Organization for Workers' Children, from which eventually emerged the Association of Antifascist Women (AMA: Asociación de Mujeres Antifascistas).

She continued to lead the Socorro Rojo, and participated personally and at great risk towards the end of the war in releasing several communists from the concentration camps of Alicante.
