Description
Summary:This article addresses the participation of women in underground armed movements in the 1970s, during the so-called dirty war. It offers an estimate of the proportion of women involved in clandestine organizations and offers points of comparison with other experiences in this same period. It establishes the geographic origins and educational level of the women who took the path of the armed underground and presents the numbers and proportions of women in the most important clandestine organizations. These three approaches are accompanied by personal stories and the way in which they are linked to these calculations. Two problems involve the analytical starting point: the academic discussion on women’s participation in modern political violence and the impact of accelerated urbanization and acculturation on the creation of the conditions for this violence.
