17-Year-Old, French-born Catalan Socialist War Correspondent and rebel militant, Marina Ginestà, photographed on a rooftop overlooking Placa De Catalunya, Barcelona, July 1936.
Marina Ginestà was a member of the Juventudes Socialistas Unificadas, a Communist youth organisation governed by the Partido Comunista de España (Communist Party of Spain). When the Spanish Civil War broke out she found work as a translator and reporter
for Mikhail Koltsov, a correspondent of the Soviet newspaper Pravda.
Marina rapidly grew disillusioned with the Stalinist direction of the PCE but remained a militant in the face is Franco's Fascist Regime. Instead she found her self getting involved with different political factions such as the Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista (POUM) (of whom George Orwell was a member) and later the Anarchist C.N.T.
Marina was injured before the end of the Spanish Civil war and was evacuated to Montpellier.
