The Spanish poet Concha Méndez, a member of the Generation of '27, wrote a series of poems about the Spanish Civil War that reflected her commitment to the Republican cause and her concern for the suffering of the Spanish people. Méndez, who was married to the poet Manuel Altolaguirre, wrote poems that combined lyrical beauty with political engagement, and her work was widely read among Republican supporters. Her poems from this period were later collected and published.

Méndez's war poetry was an important contribution to the literature of the Spanish Civil War, demonstrating that women poets were also deeply engaged in the conflict. Her work also influenced later generations of Spanish women poets, who saw her as a model of political and literary commitment. Méndez's poetry from this period is now recognized as an important part of the Spanish literary canon.
