Dolores Ib%C3%A1rruri

Isidora Dolores Ibrruri Gmez known as La Pasionaria was a Spanish Republican heroine of the Spanish Civil War and communist politician of Basque origin, known for her famous slogan No Pasarn during the Battle for Madrid in November 1936.

Dolores Ibrruri was born to a Basque miner and a Castillian mother. She grew up in Gallarta, but later moved to Somorrosto . Gallarta was next to a large siderite mine which became the secondmost important in Europe in the 1970s and which shut down permanently in 1993. She attended the municipal school as soon as she could talk. The curriculum was basic and mainly religious discipline was harsh. Outside she and the other children sang revolutionary ditties, played pranks and took part in rival gang fights. A willful child, she was taken at the age of ten by her mother to the Church of San Felicisimo in Deusto to be exorcized.
