Activities during Easter

 A film which had a mayor impact in my way of thinking about war and womens way of fighting was "Las Trece Rosas" (the Thirteen Roses). It is the name given in Spain to a group of thirteen young women, seven of whom were under age (in Francoist Spain the age of majority was 21), who were executed by a Francoist firing squad just after the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War, as part of a massive execution campaign known as the "saca de agosto" along with 43 young men (among them a fourteen-year-old).
These women fighted till the end like their husbands and they showed they could be as brave as them. I would recommend everyone interested in womens rights to watch it.



Another interesting thing was a short tale which appeared in the book we had to read for the Spanish class this term: "El lápiz del carpintero". This tale tells the story of why people did not know how bees were born. This was due to the fact that Aristoteles and other well-known scientist would not accept the fact that there was a queen bee.
