Biography
editShe was born in December 1911. Dorado was in a relationship with another anarchist, Julio Acevedo Veiga.[1][3] She seemed to take on a coordinating role in the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI), as she established connections between key figures of the movement in Galicia.[1][2] During this time, she rented an apartment at 6 del Carmen Street in La Coruña and worked as a baker, having been dismissed from her job as a weaver due to her revolutionary activities.[1][2]
Death
editDorado was at home, in her house, where she was hiding two FAI leaders when a Civil Guard raid hit the neighborhood.[1][3][2][4] She was betrayed by someone who was captured and tortured.[4] The guards entered the building, shooting and killing all the anarchists present.[1][2][4] Her partner managed to escape after defending himself, fleeing across a rooftop, but he was caught in a nearby street and shot in the back.[1][2][4]
