Maybe Never Again is a photobook about foreign women who joined the Republican fight against fascism during the Spanish Civil War. Espe Pons photographs the places where they worked — Brunete, Albacete, Huete and Mataró — capturing empty landscapes and ruins that bear witness to their absence.

The book brings to light the stories of women who travelled from abroad to volunteer in the Republican cause, among them doctors, nurses, photographers, journalists, militiamen and intellectuals: Elzbieta Bekier, Anni Brunner, Hedwig Buss-Diener, Maria Gothelf Melchior, Nan Green, Liesel Hidden-Mottek, Kate Kirstein, May Levine, Dora Lorska, Fredericka Martin, Tina Modotti, Margarita Nelken Mansberger, Betty Rosenfeld, Jeanne Roussant, Rachel Schwartzman, Esther Silverstein Blanc, Thora Silverthorne, Gerda Taro, Clara Thalmann, Lillian Urmston and Simone Weil.

Pons traces their families and creates contemporary portraits, while also documenting personal objects that preserve their memory. The book includes biographies of all 21 women, written by their relatives and historians, alongside essays by six specialists exploring the historical and cultural context of the Spanish Civil War. Archival photographs by Gerda Taro, Edward Weston, Kati Horna and Agustí Centelles offer a further historical dimension. The 221-page photobook is an independently published project supported by a number of cultural institutions and organisations dedicated to historical memory.
