Abstract

This paper presents a selection of letters, mostly unpublished, between Anna Murià and her daughter, Eli Bartra Murià, where we can appreciate their perception, regarding the phenomenon that marked their lives. Three specific moments that motivated the correspondence between they have been chosen: the first trip to Europe of the couple Bartra Murià since they left France, the first trip of Eli Bartra to the land of their parents in search of her roots, and the return from exile, the return to Spain, by Anna Murià and Agustí Bartra. With the presentation of these documents and the paraphrasing of their family contexts, the aim is to point out how the exiles transmitted republican values to their direct descendants in line with the culture they had to leave behind, in a clear example of transnationalism. Finally, a coda on the feminism of both authors is added.
