Abstract
ABSTRACT As members of Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), female characters in J. A. González Sainz’s Ojos que no ven and Arantxa Urretabizkaia’s El cuaderno rojo challenge the traditionally held idea that women are naturally life-giving, peace-loving beings. The works present two different perspectives; Asun, in Ojos que no ven, is represented solely through her husband’s gaze, whereas la Madre, in El cuaderno rojo, provides context and nuance for her actions through first-person letters written to her children. Despite the dichotomy of these perspectives, both works ultimately uphold the fundamental incompatibility of motherhood with the proscribed violence usually associated with terrorist organizations.
