Abstract
This article presents an analysis of women participation in several guerrilla groups in two countries: Guatemala y El Salvador, during the second half of the Central American 20th century, through written testimonies such as autobiographies and collective compilations. It is considered that in that critical period revolutionary movements enlightened wishes and opened politic-social possibilities for women; and so, as in other history times, they got organized thinking and projecting social emancipation, that in this case took form being guerrilleras. However the path was not easy because even with the revolutionary promise of the «hombre nuevo», apparently neutralized, their experiences show us that their sexed women bodies embodied incomprehensible qualities in that space. Something that affected their revolutionary live. We took some topics of their reflections to make a critic reading that allow us to learn with that guerrilleras voices.
