SORIANO HERNANDEZ, Silvia. Voces e identidades: experiencias de mujeres guatemaltecas durante la guerra. Latinoamérica [online]. 2005, n.40, pp.219-244. ISSN 2448-6914.

Based on Guatemalan women testimonies in a war scenario, this article deals with the women’ identities that arise from being victims of violence, and that found a meaning by unifying their voices, and by joining organizations that help them find that meaning in their lives. Putting aside the victimization, this paper focuses on social subjects that became doers in an adverse situation, showing a strength that opened new perspectives in their daily lives. Their discourse is explored to understand their point of view.
