Sumario:This article analyzes the theoretical perspectives adopted by different investigations in Latin America that have inquired about the political experiences of women militants of guerrilla groups. A hermeneutical method is chosen; this method pays attention to the observation of the data and the interpretation of its meaning. The results identify that the construction in armed militancy is configured from a masculine and heterosexual sex-gender referent. Motherhood can be interpreted as an element of fleeing that contradicts the hegemonic model. Moreover, concerning citizenship, elements typical of a leftist ideological context are observed, such as sacrifice, collective commitment, and diffuse limits between the public and the private.
