Historia
Gertrude Gaffney was an Irish journalist and an outspoken advocate of women's rights who made her career as a columnist with the Irish Independent. Unusually for the time, she worked as a roving foreign correspondent, travelling widely in Europe. She is best remembered for her coverage of the Irish Brigade fighting for General Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939.
