Common card · No. 352933

Hildegart Leocadia Georgina Hermenegilda María del Pilar Rodríguez Carballeira (9 December 1914  – 9 June 1933) was an activist for socialism and sexual revolution who was conceived and raised by her anti-theist, socialist, eugenicist, and feminist mother, Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, as a prototype for the women of the future. She spoke four languages when she was eight years old, finished law school as a teenager, and was a leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) which she abandoned in favor of extreme Republicanism, joining the Federal Democratic Republican Party (PRDF). Her ideology became more critical of Marxism, and she found more alignment with anarchist thought. When she was 18 years old and had become internationally renowned while also seeking personal and political independence from her controlling mother, her mother shot Hildegart to death in her sleep.
