Biography
Concha Pérez Collado (17 October 1915 Barcelona â 17 April 2014 Barcelona) was a Spanish anarchist involved with the CNT, and later the CGT. Involved with anarchist activities by the age of 17, she was part of an armed group ready to take on nationalist forces when the Spanish Civil War started in July 1936. She saw action in Barcelona and Aragon, before eventually moving to a French refugee camp where she gave birth to her only son. Pérez Collado returned to France around 1942, where she lost and then regained custody of her son. Pérez Collado also reconnected with Maurici Palau, and the couple opened a jewelry and underwear shop which hosted anarchist meetings. Following the death of Francisco Franco, she became more openly involved in local organizing events and continued her anarchist activities. Pérez Collado died on 17 April 2014, in Barcelona, one of the last of her generation of female Civil War fighters to die.
