Book review: Women and ETA: the gender politics of radical Basque Nationalism

"Women and ETA: The Gender Politics of Radical Basque Nationalism." Carrie Hamilton. Manchester University Press. January 2013. --- In 2011, the Basque separatist and nationalist group ETA declared the definitive cessation of its armed activity, bringing more than five decades of paramilitary activities to an end. Carrie Hamilton’s book Women and ETA examines the history and evolution of ETA from a gender perspective, charting the often very different roles of men and women in the organization since the 1970s. Ana Varela-Rey praises the book as an invaluable contribution to gender and political violence studies, as well as its use of extensive oral history interviews with women members and supporters of ETA.
