Rosa Laviña Carreras

Rosa Laviña i Carreras was a Catalan anarchist activist. Exposed to anarchist ideas from a young age, she became a leading member in the Libertarian Youth (FIJL) and in Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (SIA). After the defeat of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, she fled to the Occitan city of Toulouse, where she used her house to host members of the Spanish Maquis. She also opened a vegetarian restaurant in the city, where she spent the rest of her life, remaining engaged in anarchist activism into old age.
