Women and the Spanish Civil War, with Meirian Jump
There are important links between Cable Street and the Spanish Civil War, which started in 1936. Many people went from one to the other, joining the International Brigades who fought against Franco’s fascists, depicted in George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” and Ken Loach’s “Land and Freedom”. But they weren’t all men! Meririen Jump will share material and reflections from the unique collection of the Marx Memorial Library.
Meirian Jump is the Director of the Marx Memorial Library (MML) & Workers’ School. An archivist, she has worked at MML – home to the most significant and comprehensive archive on the Spanish Civil War in the UK – for over a decade. She is also granddaughter of international brigadier Jimmy Jump, whose memoir, “The Fighter Fell in Love” was published by The Clapton Press in 2021.
