By remembering the political violence in the Chilean transition, gendered subjects emerge, which are placed in a position of subordination in relation to the heteropatriarchal culture. These stories are constructed from the margins of official memory; forming a melting pot of dissident memories. Results are presented about an investigation that deals with the construction of activist memory, analyzing the different gendered positions of the subject. Memories, constructed in the context of the current debates on feminism, problematize the gender relations in the armed militancy of the time.They point out the exclusion of aspects related to the genderization of political life within these militancies: the brands of women activists in relation to dominant gender mandates (activism-reproduction), the gendered subordinations in the practices within the activist collectivities, and the relegation to a secondary space of the gender dimensions in relation to the struggle principle of that transitional moment.
