This book explores the role of Spanish Republican women artists who found refuge in Latin America after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Through its pages, creators such as Maruja Mallo, Remedios Varo, Roser Bru, and Marta Palau are discovered, along with other figures such as Elvira Gascón, Manuela Ballester, Victorina Durán, and Mary Martín. The analysis of the sociocultural conditions in which these women developed their artistic activity reveals the complexities they faced and proposes new perspectives on recent artistic history and the Republican diaspora. Their productions, which often deviated from the traditional parameters of fine arts, range from the illustration of magazines and books to fashion design, decoration, art teaching, muralism, set design, painting, and engraving. Despite sharing a common political cause, these artists had diverse trajectories that shaped their different visions of exile, family, art, and life.
