Olga Bauer y Zenobia Camprubí. Historia de una amistad

Abstract

This article aims to present a biographical sketch of Olga Bauer de Gunzburg, a Jewish Russian woman and wife of the founder and first president of the Jewish Community of Madrid in 1917, Ignacio Bauer. The early integration of Olga Bauer within the cultural environment of Madrid in the 1920s allowed her to create important networks with other women sharing her intellectual interests. This article addresses, in particular, the origin and development of the friendship between Olga and Zenobia Camprubi through a glance at her private correspondence and other unpublished material. Some other novelties about her literary circles are also disclosed.
