Offers a study of women's participation in Spain's oldest armed movement. This book shows how women's participation in radical Basque nationalism has changed since the founding of ETA in 1959. It analyses several aspects of women's nationalist activism: collaboration and direct activism in ETA, cultural movements, motherhood, prison and feminism.

It draws on comparative studies of women in nationalist movements and armed organizations in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere. It also takes a new look at the question of memory in recent Spanish history, contributing to Spain's contemporary 'memory wars' through an analysis of the relationship between memory, gender and violence. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, Hispanic studies, gender studies, anthropology and politics, as well as to journalists and readers interested in women's participation in contemporary conflicts and terrorist movements.
