Teresa Pàmies

Married to Gregorio López Raimundo [ca], General Secretary of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC), she was the mother of writer Sergi Pàmies.

Prominent among her works, always with an autobiographical background, were Testament a Praga (1970), Quan érem capitans (1974), Va ploure tot el dia (1974), Gent del meu exili (1975), a biography of Dolores Ibárruri in Spanish (Mexico, 1975), and Jardí enfonsat (1992).

[6] At 17, when the Civil War began, she took part in a rally in the Monumental Plaza of Barcelona, and in 1937 she joined the Unified Socialist Youth of Catalonia [ca] (JSUC), of which she would become leader.

She joined the half million people fleeing from Catalonia to France, a march that in her case passed through Girona and Olot until, at 19, she entered the Magnac-Laval refugee camp, near Limoges.

[3] In 1971 she returned to Catalonia thanks to a visa to receive the Josep Pla Award for the book Testament a Praga, written jointly with her father.
