Descripción
Sumario:This article examines private correspondence as a source of historical knowledge and analyses social networks built by Spanish republicans in exile. Letters were a major tool in the building, maintenance and recreation of trans-continental networks. To this end, this article relies on the exceptionally well-preserved correspondence found in the personal archive of Pilar de Madariaga. As one of Spain’s female pioneering scientists, she received her education within the Institución Libre de Enseñanza. In exile, she became a Professor of Spanish Literature at Vassar College, one of the Seven Sisters, the elite American higher education for women.
