Mary Low (1912-2007) was a poet, linguist, Trotskyist, classics teacher and the wife of the Surrealist poet Juan Breá: “Her final act was to sign a declaration of critical historians opposing the dominant historiography that depicts the Spanish revolution simply as a struggle between fascism and anti-fascism, (exemplified by Hobsbawm among UK academics) and seeks to erase the struggle between the classes from the historical record.” (JJ Plant)
