AVILA CORONEL, Francisco. Gender Tensions and Empowerment of Two Guerrilla Women: a Biographical Approach to Members of the Frente Urbano Zapatista (FUZ) and the “Lacandones” (1968-1972). Secuencia [online]. 2022, n.113, e1953. Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 2395-8464. https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i113.1953.
This article uses a biographical approach to study female guerrillas in the Frente Urbano Zapatista and the “Lacandones”, focusing on the study of the empowerment of Yolanda Casas and Lourdes Quiñones, who, like other clandestine communist militants, challenged gender stereotypes and positioned themselves as social subjects, through their own political practice. The experience of both guerrillas is analyzed through biography and a gender approach. The testimonials of those who became their husbands and companions-in-arms are used to link the meanings and relationships between men and women to the revolutionary project in which they participated in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
