| Abstract: |
Frances Patai was an educator, writer, historian and feminist activist. Born in New
York in 1930, she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees at the City College of
New York in the 1950s and taught English and Communication courses throughout the
City University of New York (CUNY) system. Patai was deeply concerned with human rights
issues, in particular the rights and status of women, and in the last decade of her
life she devoted her efforts to researching and writing a book on U.S. women medical
personnel who volunteered during the Spanish Civil War. The oral histories that make
up this collection are part of her extensive research material. The Frances Patai
Oral Histories on Women Medical Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War consist of interviews
with volunteers from the Spanish Civil War, primarily the women who served as nurses.
