In this paper, we propose to address the participation of women in the Peronist Resistance between 1955 and 1966 from a gender perspective. The statements given by male activists, tend to show women in a support role and in activities in which they performed traditional gender roles in order to avoid repression. Here, we try to offer a different framework. We consider women's forms of political intervention trying to overcome the anecdotal and romantic tinted lenses of those stories. In order to do this, we will analyze two types of documents. On one hand, interviews with activists about their resistance actions. On the other, ordinary justice's judicial files during the government of the Revolución Libertadora and military court files of the CONINTES Plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
