Descripción:This work reviews, through the stories of women from different spaces originating in Guatema-la, the forms of resistance of the residents, practiced during the armed conflict and discusses the vicissitudes of the slow and difficult process that they went through until the Peace Signing thatwas It happened in 1996. Part of the process was recorded through women’s testimonies that werecollected in books and magazines. The life path and destiny of women from that historical momenton is so complex and so little known that it has become necessary to review the different individualand collective participations of organized women during the post-war period, since without thoseinputs it would not have been possible to consolidate peace. Since it had to be woven with wisdom, resistance, persistence and resilience, instead of built. Only through the hard work of women in all processes, were they able to restore the balance that had been lost by at least two generations of people from the towns, during the internal armed conflict, demobilization and return to a territory that appeared hostile and wild, at the time of signing peace.
