She was the only female dynamite specialist in the republican militias and fought in the front lines during the defence of Madrid. She lost her hand in an explosion in the trenches. A single mother, she lived out the rest of her life selling cigarettes on the streets of Madrid in order to provide for her two children. She died in 2008.
