On this day, January 8, in 1996

Carmen Conde died in Madrid, Spain. Conde, more commonly known as Florentina, was born in 1970, and was an amazing poet and activist. During the Spanish Revolution, she joined the 'Mujeres Libres' which was a group of women fighting for both women's liberation and an Anarchist revolution. With 'Mujeres Libres' Florentina did a lot of work in the community and gave lectures on how to merge the struggle against women's oppression with the struggle against capitalism.
