Antònia Fontanillas Borràs

Antònia Margarita Aurora Fontanillas Borràs was a Catalan anarcho-syndicalist activist, journalist and historian. Coming from an anarchist family, she joined the anarchist movement at an early age, affiliating with the graphic arts union of the National Confederation of Labour (CNT) and the Libertarian Youth. She worked for Solidaridad Obrera during the Spanish Civil War and clandestinely distributed the paper after the fall of Barcelona, before fleeing into exile in France. She remained active in the exiled anarchist movement, and after the Spanish transition to democracy, she joined the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) and wrote several works about the history of Spanish anarchism.
