Comment: From her “moment of proof” in Barcelona, in 1936, Rukeyser clung to her mission of telling “what we saw in Spain”. Her participation in this meeting, as an eyewitness of what had happened at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, confirms her belief in the need for social concern on the part of the writers.
