Nurse, midwife and communist activist.
As a nurse, she created the committee of secular nurses at San Carlos hospital in Madrid, where she worked during the Civil War. When the conflict was over, she was arrested and sentenced first to death and later to 30 years for joining the military rebellion. Despite the review of her sentence in 1941, which led to her release, she was arrested and imprisoned at different penitentiary centres numerous times for other crimes. Whenever she was imprisoned, she worked as a nurse and midwife and strove to improve the hygiene and sanitary conditions in the prison.
Once released, she moved to the Porta neighbourhood, where she worked as a physician's assistant and joined the grassroots struggles to dignify the neighbourhood. In 1997, she and Josefina Piquet co-founded The Women of ‘36, an association that strove to preserve the historical memory of the women who lived through the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship.
