The figure of the only Spanish woman prosecuted for Anti-American Activities has been rescued

A new book titled 'Ernestina González, un pulso antifranquista,' authored by University of Connecticut professor Ana María Díaz Marcos, documents the life of Ernestina González. González, a Spanish professor and journalist, holds the distinction of being the only Spanish woman to be prosecuted and imprisoned for anti-American activities during her exile in the United States.

González was the wife of Leo Fleichman, who is noted as the first American volunteer to die in the Spanish Civil War. The work serves to recover her historical narrative, highlighting her experiences as a republican in exile and her legal struggles within the American judicial system during the period of anti-communist activity.
