Jeanne Tunica y Casas played an important role in 2Oth century France, a period of progress where women finally gained the right to vote and the Indigénat regime was abolished in French colonies. The novel inspired by her life, Jeanne The Woman In Red, is the fruit of thorough research on Jeanne Tunica y Casas and the global historical context, all backed-up by archives. You will come across extracts of newspaper articles, tracts and letters written by Jeanne Tunica y Casas herself (see references at the end of the book.) The 1930s communism Jeanne Tunica y Casas defended was not one of a totalitarian regime, rather one of a fair society where everybody could thrive and work under conditions we take for granted nowadays.
