Synopsis
En el caos de la Guerra Civil española, El Batallón de las Lincoln reivindica la historia de un grupo de mujeres que desafiaron las normas sociales de la época, vinieron a España a luchar contra el fascismo, y pusieron sus vidas al servicio de una causa extranjera y de un país lejano. Trece mujeres, trece historias con nombre y apellido propio: Salaria Kea, Marion Merriman, Evelyn Hutchins, Lini Fuhr, Mildred Rackley, Anne Tufts, Kitty Bowler, Rose Abramson, Frances Vanzant, Hilda Bell, Avelino Bruzzichesi, Thelma Erickson y Muriel Rukeyser. Muchas de ellas voluntarias de la XV Brigada Internacional, conocida como la Brigada Abraham Lincoln.
The Lincoln Batallionettes
In 1936, the hopes of democracy in Spain are shattered by civil war and the alarm of injustice is heard in the hearts of thirteen young American women. Black and White, Jewish, Catholic and Protestant, facing personal demons and cleaving to their idealism, they are drawn to help, volunteering proudly in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Based on actual events, in these stories we share in the triumphs and tragedies of these remarkable women, displaced across an ocean and coping in a new culture, when the fight against fascism will change them for the rest of their lives.
“[Mercedes Gutiérrez García] masterfully portrays the individual experiences of these women, offering an intimate look at their struggles and triumphs, as well as the challenges and adversities they faced in their fight against Spanish fascism.” —Publishers Weekly en Español
