A worker, teacher and anti-fascist activist, at a young age she joined the Workers' and Peasants' Bloc (BOC) in Girona. In 1934 she arrived in Barcelona and a few months later joined the Workers Party of Marxist Unification (POUM). In 1936, in the middle of the Civil War, she was appointed director of the women's prison in Barcelona, where she oversaw remarkable transformations to dignify the lives of the prisoners. She installed showers and also created an infirmary and a nursery for the prisoners’ children. After the events of May 1937, she was removed from her post and imprisoned in a Cheka (secret police) prison. Two days before Franco's troops entered Barcelona down Av Diagonal, on 26 January 1939, an armed group of POUM militants released her and other political prisoners. She went into exile in France, Mexico, Venezuela and, finally, in the United States, where she lived until her death. The largest mass grave of people executed in the Catalan rearguard during the Spanish Civil War is in the Montcada i Reixac cemetery.
