sandyRoe - at the foot of her statue in Glasgow the inscription reads "better to die on your feet than live forever on your knees" She was Spanish, never visited Rome or Moscow, just believed in justice.

Nice motto / inscription / belief / motto Mr W.

All she's missing is a fag between those fingers.

I did think for a second "why would the lead singer of the cranberries have a statue anywhere!) but that would be Dolores O'Riordan

[Ellipsis]

Maybe outside the Ocean Spray factory, Chuck ...

La Pasionaria.

There will lots of Status of her in Spain.

[ChuckFickens]

Thanks Harry, I know I should rely on my fantastic instincts and think for less time, as you say.

[jackthehat]

Actually, scratch that last answer.........

I should have written 'some' but even that seems a little over optimistic.

She's one of my 'Fantasy Dinner Guests'.....

[sandyRoe]

She did spend the war years in exile in the Soviet Union.
She must have been quite an orator. Media URL: http://youtu.be/0Xfm3o45iIE
