Join Helen Houston of Scottish Blethers, with special guests Fran Glaría and Jorge Román for this special presentation on GC Facebook.
Miss Jean Brodie paints a very different picture of fascism in her lessons to ‘her girls’ to that which most people in Scotland believed. The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 captivated Scotland. Scots spoke out vehemently against General Franco's nationalist coalition, nearly 600 men and women volunteered to serve in Spain; a quarter of them never came back. In Scotland itself, an unparalleled aid movement materialised driven by working-class women.
Helen will look at what was happening in Scotland at this time and the reasons so many men and women felt impelled to ‘do something’.
