Fanny Rubio

Linked to the University of Granada since 1971 as a research fellow, she went to Fez, Morocco with her husband, Bernabé López García, a specialist in Arab History and Culture, in 1974.

She participated in the organic life of the PCE through its Culture Committee, where she made close friends like Juan Genovés, Armando López Salinas [es], Cristina Almeida (whom she visited in the Carabanchel jail), Elisa Serna and Teresa Rial (prisoners in Yeserías), Dulcinea Bellido, Carmen Rodríguez, and Josefina Samper.

[4] She published the poetry books Reverso (1988), En re menor (1990), Urbes (1991), and Cuadrantes, the short story collection A Madrid por capricho (1988), and the literary critique Dámaso Alonso, Hijos de la ira (1990).

[6] She was also an advisor on the TVE documentary series Esta es mi tierra, which featured writers such as Jon Juaristi and Luis Landero.

[9] Her novel El hijo del aire (2001) is part of a trilogy dedicated to recovering contemporary memory and addresses the issue of the disappearances of the Argentine dictatorship.

[13] In June she signed a letter, along with other progressive intellectuals such as Joan Oleza [es], Cristina Almeida, and Matías Alonso, asking the Pope to mediate in the protection of the common grave of Valencia.

On the occasion of the centenary of the publication of Don Quixote, she directed the study "El Quijote en clave de mujeres", which collects almost twenty essays on the role of women in this work.
