The Bardems are a sort of equivalent to the Barrymores of Spain-"an acting dynasty." Pilar is often called "La Bardem," and is well-known in Spain not only as an actress, but for her outspoken political views. She has toiled for "labor rights for actors, civil rights for women," and "a more liberal Catholic Church" (she has affirmed a belief that women should be able to become priests). In 2003, she protested Spain's (at that time) support of the American-devised War in Iraq and was ejected from the spectators' gallery in parliament.
Pilar Bardem left her abusive husband and raised three children on her own at a time when separation and divorce were unheard of in Spain. Though she is reluctant to talk about him, her memoirs recount a time that he showed up shooting at her door, determined to take the children with him. The police would not come when she called. She said she got permission from all her children to write about him, as she always wants them to love him.
Bardem identifies her long struggle, working several jobs at once to raise her children, as not uncommon. She was just "one of so many."
