  Federica Montseny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Federica Montseny (February 12, 1905-January 14, 1994) was a Spanish anarchist intellectual and Minister of Health during the social revolution that occurred in Spain parallel to the Civil War.
As well as being the first ever female minister in the Spanish government, Montseny issued a decree legalising abortion.
She was, in her own words, the "[d]aughter of a family of old anarchists"; her father had been an anti-authoritarian writer and propagandist who wrote under the name Federico Urales, so her decision to enter the government was a difficult one to make.

 Federica Montseny
Montseny’s talent for public speaking in addition to her political credentials and her astute defense of the FAI (Federación Anarquista Ibérica, the leftist faction of the CNT) in internal disputes promoted her public career so that within a short time she was a prominent member of the labor union's National Committee.
Montseny held a variety of political offices in the CNT and the FAI throughout the war: President of the UGT-CNT committee, Secretary of Propaganda of the National Committee of the CNT and member of the Peninsular Committee of the FAI.
Towards the end of her life Federica Montseny was perceived more as a catalyzing symbol, comparable to Dolores Ibárruri, rather than a political leader capable of uniting the diverse political forces of the anarchist movement.

 Review of Wrong Steps: Errors in the Spanish Revolution by Juan Garcia Oliver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The idea that implementing libertarian communism would be an "anarchist dictatorship" sprang from Federica Montseny, a middle-class intellectual, while Diego de Santillan argued that the revolution would be isolated and perhaps subject to international intervention.
If Montseny's argument was valid, then it logically means that anarchism itself would be impossible, for there will always be sectors of society -- bosses, politicians, etc. -- who will oppose social re-organisation on a libertarian basis.
As Malatesta once argued, some people "seem almost to believe that after having brought down government and private property we would allow both to be quietly built up again, because of a respect for the freedom of those who might feel the need to be rulers and property owners.

As long as Callejas was director the CNT's July gains were at all times defended, and anarchist principles praised and propagated.
But once Jacinto Toryho was imposed as director of Solidaridad Obrera, by the counterrevolutionaries ensconced in the committees, that is, by the cabal which has no goal other than to dispose of the authentic CNT, then not only was militarization championed, as F. Montseny implies, [but there was] something else.
