Guerrilla Women
Women are just as strong as men are!
What exactly happened?
In the second half of the 20th-century thousands of women joined the Revolutionary movements. Movements in Latin America wanted to overturn dictatorships, confront economic inequalities and create what Che Guevara called the "New Man." According to Women and Guerrilla Movements: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chiapas, Cuba, Karen Kampwirth.

Human Rights.
According to, Women & Guerrilla Movements." Google Books. Web. 22 Sept. 2015, Women joined the Guerrilla for almost the same reasons that men did. Some of the reasons were justice and mistreatment. Women took leadership roles during the revolutionary movements that were taking place in their country. They took action as soon as they felt that they deserved justice and freedom in their country. They wanted to have their opinions heard and, therefore, joined along with men to overthrown dictatorships. This shows that gender didn't necessarily matter as long as you had the motivation to make a change. That women can be just as strong as men and that they wanted gender justice.
