Abstract

Sofía Casanova was journalist in ABC during the First World War and Bolshevik Revolution. She wrote about geopolitical and war events, as well as she described her agency as burgess woman and Red Cross nurse, and everyday life at Poland and Russia. It is possible to find in those pages Sofía Casanova’s ways to get political empowerment through cross-wise relationships generated between gender and nation categories. In this case, Sofía Casanova was tied with Spain, Poland, and Russia. That organized in a hierarchy manner when she accessed to political power, and it happened even going through the boundaries related to her sexual condition.
