Tomorrow Perhaps the Future Summary

Tomorrow Perhaps the Future: Writers, Rebels and the Spanish Civil War by Sarah Watling

In our age of political divisions, this portrait of the women outsiders who took part in the Spanish Civil War asks questions of solidarity and resistance.

'Glorious... so beautifully rendered, so powerful'

ANNA FUNDER, author of Wifedom

In the 1930s, women and men from across the world made their way to Spain to be part of what they saw as a historic fight for freedom from fascism. Tomorrow Perhaps the Future follows extraordinary outsiders who were determined to live out their lives with courage and conviction.

Sarah Watling weaves together the experiences of a host of writers and activists, including Nancy Cunard, Martha Gellhorn, Jessica Mitford and Virginia Woolf, and searches out the stories of the photographer Gerda Taro and the Harlem nurse Salaria Kea. Throughout, she explores solidarity, art and resistance, finding answers that are as vital today as they were almost a century ago.

A fascinating study... Watling's protagonists are flawed but brave, battling fascism with guts. * Observer *
In her engrossing and impressive book, Sarah Watling looks at some of those women who went to war, not just to fight fascism or scratch the itch of adventure but also to show what women could do. * New Statesman *
Provocative, compelling narratives of women on the front lines of fighting fascism... A powerful, moving cautionary tale for today. -- Helen Zia, author of The Last Boat Out of Shanghai
Watling's study marks her determination to write women into the history books... This is a serious, scholarly work, which also brings her group of writers, poets and activists vividly to life. * Spectator *
