Teresa Andrade

[2] Around 1918 she studied philosophy and literature in Madrid, and her feminist concerns began with her membership of a women's students' association and her approach to political activism, as she recounts in her memoirs.

[3] In 1924 Teresa met Juan Andrade, an activist who had served on the First Committee of the Spanish Communist Party in 1920, with whom she began to collaborate, translating and writing political articles.

[3] In 1935 they moved to Barcelona, where they strengthened their links with other activists such as Víctor Alba during a period characterised by social upheaval.

[1] Released in 1939 when Franco's troops invaded Barcelona, she remained in hiding until she could escape to France, where she was identified, paroled during World War II and reunited with Juan Andrade.

She published several books with texts by Juan Andrade and left some autobiographical stories unfinished during the last years of her life.
