This Special Issue examines the diverse roles of women in resistance movements during the Second World War, focusing on case studies from Spain, Greece, Italy, and Poland. It challenges the traditionally militarized and male-dominated definitions of resistance, emphasizing women’s crucial contributions to both armed and unarmed efforts. The articles reveal how women navigated entrenched societal norms to engage in activities such as guerrilla logistics, combat, sabotage, and clandestine organization, often reshaping their roles in wartime society. By exploring these overlooked aspects of resistance, the issue highlights how women’s actions advanced liberation struggles and fostered significant social and cultural transformations.
