Life
[edit]Mirta Núñez Díaz-Balart was born into a family marked by history: her father, the lawyer Emilio Núñez Blanco was a notorious anti-Castro activist; her mother, Mirta Díaz-Balart, was the first wife of Fidel Castro.[1] Mirta Núñez was at the same time the half-sister of the only "official" son of the Cuban president, Fidel Castro Díaz-Balart (1949-2018), and the first cousin of two U.S. Republican congressmen, Lincoln Díaz-Balart, and Mario Díaz-Balart.
Mirta Núñez graduated from Complutense University of Madrid in 1983, with the thesis "The Press of the International Brigades". In October 1988, she read her doctoral thesis, entitled "The war press in the republican zone during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)", directed by José Altabella Hernández. The thesis, in 2683 pages across six volumes, was published four years later. She wrote histories of the Spanish Civil War.[2][3]
Mirta Núñez is a tenured professor at Complutense University of Madrid.[4]
