#OTD 1890 Molly Morris was born in Leyland, Lancashire. She was a nurse, Suffragette and wife to the communist Jack Murphy. She nursed TB, London's rich & poor, in Spain's Civil War and WW2 blitz. #SCW #histnursing #MollyMurphy
A moving event today by the International Brigade Memorial Trust remembering the Spanish Civil War battle of Jarama, February 12-14 1937. Molly Murphy nursed survivors in a makeshift hospital close behind the front line. Also got a new book from Chris Hall #MollyMurphy #SCW #IBMT
My FOI request from the Metropolitan Police came good! Spent the weekend working through files re the 1925 raid on the Communist Party of Great Britain - when Molly's husband Jack was tried and imprisoned. Just tiny fragments on Molly, but fascinating all the same #mollymurphy #histnursing
Thanks to Warwick Digital Archives, but also the Marxist Internet Archive and the Internet Archive who make amazing historical documents like this available to unaffiliated researchers like me

Biography -draft 1, Chapter 8 - Moscow, March 1921, Molly Murphy witnesses the reality of the terrible famine that is unfolding: ‘animals falling exhausted in the streets and white faced haggard children pathetically clutch you as you pass and beg for bread.’

I just spoke with a friend I used to work with. I had told her several months ago about the #MollyMurphy series by @authorrhysbowen.bsky.social. She is reading them and thoroughly enjoying them. She thanked me for recommending them to her. This is the magic of reading! #Books
Last night's read by @authorrhysbowen.bsky.social.

It's all one big fire these days.
Reuben Saunders Gallery found the original of "In the Understory" a new home, but I have a handful of smaller prints left.
