Abstract

Violent radicalization is a complex phenomenon that must be explained through a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this article is to explain how 22 women in Spain became radicalised. To achieve this, the study analyses the socio-political factors that lead an individual to get involved with the Islamic militancy through three levels: macro, micro and meso. The research is supported by interviews with females in Spain who were convicted of terrorist offences and experts in the field; by judgement and indictments ordered by the Audiencia Nacional.
