At some time in their lives, nine women, now aged between 25 and 74, have taken part in political struggles involving confrontations and clashes. While the contexts may differ, from Action Directe to the Red Brigades, Baader-Meinhof Gang, ETA, Black Blocs protesters and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), they all have something in common: they have all made use of political violence that they deemed necessary. In the interviews gathered together here, they talk about what led them to take that decision, what their experience of it was like and what this involves when you're a woman.
