happy international women's day!! here is a famous speech by dolores ibárruri, aka la pasionaria, communist agitator and founder of the mujeres antifascistas (anti-fascist women), whose slogan ¡no pasarán! became the rallying cry of all republican defenders of madrid during the spanish civil war.
¡pueblo de españa en pie!
¡mujeres! ¡defended la vida de vuestros hijos!
¡defended la libertad de vuestros hombres!
todos los sacrificios imaginables,
antes de consentir que triunfen las fuerzas
que representan un pasado de opresión, un pasado de tiranía.
todos contra la reacción.
todos contra el fascismo.
un solo frente
una sola unión,
hombro con hombro, unidos todos,
hasta acabar con el enemigo.
...
people of spain, stand up!
women! defend the life of your children!
defend the freedom of your men!
make all imaginable sacrifices,
before consenting to the victory of forces
of the past, of oppression, of tyranny.
all united against reaction.
all united against fascism.
one front, one union,
shoulder to shoulder everyone,
until the enemy is finished.

veremos a dolores : ana belén
¡que vivan las mujeres!
