Juana Rouco Buela was an anarchist publisher. He wrote, edited and produced Nuestra Tribuna, in addition to having worked in various trades as a treadmill and journalist, for example. Climbed up and down ship ramps. She was clandestine and alone in one of them.
This is the book by Juana Rouco Buela, who migrated to Argentina as a child, wrote an autobiography at the end of her life, where she recounts her actions in different countries and talks about the anarchist ideal she lived and never abandoned. He lived in Brazil, but it was in Argentina and in the Rio Platense lands that he built his deepest affections.
We understood that from one hour to the next the raid would come and we would have to take all the things from the newspaper out of the house and so we did. The girl who was my apprentice came and went with bundles of clothes and inside we put everything that could compromise us. We thought, following Dr. Schiafino, how could I leave without being seen by those guarding the house. The compañera, who lived around the corner, put on the shawl I had been wearing all day and I dressed in a regal men's suit and a wide-brimmed hat worn in those days. The suit fit me so well that it looked like it had been custom made for me, and as my companion ran towards her house, I left accompanied by two companions smoking a cigarette in the opposite direction. The policeman, as we had thought, went after Tamoyne, thinking it was me, and when he returned to position himself in front of the door, I was already far away, because a car was waiting for me two blocks from my house.
Two hours later, that is, at eight o'clock at night, the police came with the judge's order to carry out the search. They searched the entire house, looked for me in every corner and, of course, could not find me.

Three books, three women:
all Latin American and revolutionary.
The work is part of the Charlas y Luchas Collection of Tenda de Livros . The main desire is to talk about Latin American anarchist women and their willingness to act. Maria A. Soares, Juana Rouco Buela and Margarita Ortega Valdés are the three characters:
Maria A Soares , Brazilian, did not leave a book ready, but left texts in several periodicals between 1912 and 1922. The collection team transcribed her writings and turned them into a publication.
Juana Rouco Buela , who migrated to Argentina as a child, wrote an autobiography at the end of her life, where she recounts her actions in different countries and talks about the anarchist ideal she lived and never abandoned.
Margarita Ortega Valdés left a single text, but her story was related by Ricardo Flores Magón and she is considered indefatigable and essential for the Mexican Revolution.
The collection's graphic project was developed by Laura Daviña and for each book an editing methodology was proposed whose unity is given by the editorial project.
