The event will take place in the Aula Magna at 19:00 and participates the journalist Rosa Solbes; the coordinator of the Debates Forum, Alfons Cervera; the PUV editor, Vicent Olmos; and the book’s author.
The relevance of Pilar Soler (Valencia, 1914-2006) is unquestionable. She was a tireless fighter. She lived in a socially and politically turbulent era: 2nd Republic, Civil War and post-war Francoism. All this within an unconventional family. Daughter of a single mother -Angels Soler was a beauty bourgeois who paid his slip with the repudiation of his family - and of an unrecognized but well known father – Felix Azzatti, director and owner of the “blasquista” (word associated with Vicente Blasco Ibañez and his republican ideas) newspaper El Pueblo - , Pilar became naturally republican, communist and feminist. Three causes from her rebellion was fed. And for these three causes she fought and suffered injustice, poverty, loneliness, imprisonment and torture, clandestineness and exile, and false identity for twenty-six years.
But she did not gave up nor got into depression. She confesses that in clandestineness she was scared but continued to fight, being active, committing and risking her life for some ideas that even led her to get apart from his daughter for twenty years. She gave birth to her daughter in Santa Clara convent-prison in dire conditions, and two months later she had to give her to the family for survival. Nothing was easy for her. "I will leave happy," she said. And left us her life.
