On this day, 21 July 1936, one of the most iconic photos of the Spanish civil war was taken on the rooftop terrace of what is now the Iberostar/Apple store buildings in Barcelona. Taken by German photographer Hans Gutmann, the photo depicts 17-year-old socialist Marina Ginestà. Although she is captured holding a rifle, it is doubtful that Ginestà actually fought on the front lines during the war. Instead, as she was partially brought up in France and spoke fluent French, Catalan and Spanish she worked as a journalist during the war and more notably as a translator and interpreter for the Soviet correspondent form the Pravda newspaper, Mijaíl Koltsov. Gutmann had come to Barcelona to cover the anti-fascist Popular Olympiad games and, at the onset of the war, decided to stay to cover the conflict. He then castilized his name to Juan Guzmán. A communist himself, he had easy access to what was formerly the Hotel Colón, a building taken over by the PSUC (the Catalan Socialist Unification Party) where he took many of his renowned photos. When the photo was taken of young Ginestà she never had held a rifle in her hands - Guzmán offered it to her to pose with and the same rifle appears in another photo in the same hotel of the writer Ludwig Renn. Ginestà survived the war and fled to France as a refugee. She later escaped the Second World War by fleeing to the Dominican Republic. With the rise of the dictatorship under Trujillo Ginestà moved to Venezuela, where she settled for many years working as a journalist and a novelist. In 2014, she passed away in Paris, France aged 94.

Did you know women were at the forefront of the Sandanista uprising which overthrew the US-backed Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua on this day 45 years ago?
30% of guerrilla combatants were women. In Nicaragua’s first democratic elections in 1984, 67% of the women who voted in that election voted for the FSLN.
”The revolution cannot be done without the participation of women,” – FSLN Commander Doris Tijerino once said.

Happy birthday to Afro-Caribbean anti-colonial revolutionary Frantz Fanon! When he died at the young age of 36, his words had already inspired liberation movements worldwide.
Fanon was born 99 years ago in the former French colony of Martinique, part of the West Indies. Later, as a psychiatrist, Fanon analyzed the psychopathology structure of the colonial system and worked closely with the Algerian National Liberation Front, which fought against French colonial rule.
His flagship work, “The Wretched of the Earth,” became a classic of anti-colonial literature. Fanon's central argument was that the colonized needed to fight against their oppressors with all the means at their disposal.
In chapter one, Fanon wrote, "Colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties. It is violence in its natural state and will only yield when confronted with greater violence.”
