Angela Jackson, married with two children, became a mature student in her mid-forties. For her, it was to be an experience that justified the claims made for adult education regarding the opening up of new horizons. A first class degree in History at Anglia Polytechnic University led to a PhD at the University of Essex and the writing of this book. Her interest in the subject continues and she is now carrying out further research on remembrance of the war.
'Jackson provides an overview with an impressive range of archival
sources' - Independent
'If you want to read more about the Spanish Civil war...it is
fascinating to consider the subject from a different perspective,
namely through the experiences of some of the many British women
who went to support the Republican cause - as told in Angela
Jackson's detailed, very personal and very moving book.' - Eastern
