Victoria Kent

In New York City she published the Ibérica review from 1954 to 1974,[3] which featured news for Spaniards exiled in the United States.

Campoamor finally won the debate against Kent in 1933 and this allowed women to be able to vote by universal suffrage.

She took refuge in Paris, and was named First Secretary of the Spanish Embassy in the capital so that she could continue taking care of refugee children.

Kent remained in Paris until the end of the Civil War, helping Spanish exiles in the capital and those awaiting their departure to America.

She was put on trial in absentia by Franco's courts and in October 1943, when she was still in Paris, she was sentenced to prison for 30 years, expelling her from Spanish territory.

Fortunately, the Red Cross gave her an apartment in Boulogne (north of France), where she lived until 1944, protected by a fake identity.

During that time, "Madame Duval" being her false identity, she wrote Cuatro Años en París, a novel with autobiographical aspects reflected in the main character, Placido.

In 1950, she was hired by the UN, and left Mexico for New York, where she worked for the social defense and led a study based on the poor conditions of prisons in Latin America.
