Abstract

The different ideologies ―Jansenism, armed struggle, and the current monstrous neoliberal market― that have had an influence on the Basque Country, did not left much space to women. For that reason I analyzed the works of different authors (Leire Bilbao, Miren Agur Meabe and Ana Urkiza, Katixa Agirre, Beatriz Urruspil, and Eider Rodriguez), as well as Jasone Osoro’s report Bi marra arrosa. The sense of intimacy in the writing of these women is terrifying. It becomes the last place left to occupy. Page after page, intimacy assaults like an act of resistance, drown by fears, blood, and desire. For women who write in Basque, intimacy becomes the instrument to make us hear their excluded voices and dismantle the nation’s structure.
