Frances Patai (1930- 1998) was an educator, writer, historian and feminist activist. The images in this collection were accrued by Patai in the course of conducting research on her unpublished book on women medical personnel who volunteered during the Spanish Civil War. The collection contains group photographs and portraits of members of the Medical Bureau and North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy and that organization’s mobile hospital. Also included are photographs of Spanish victims of fascist bombings in Catalonia and photographic reproductions of Republican, Socialist, and anarcho-syndicalist propaganda posters.
