Here’s an intimate portrait of the jihadist mobilization of women in Spain. According to the text's author, female recruits exhibit a number of common traits – i.e., they’re typically young and single, 60% of them are Spanish, they don’t have a criminal record, and they have a secondary-level education. Further, their apparent lack of self-radicalization indicates that the women are largely recruited in online settings and summoned to fulfill a variety of roles within jihadist organizations.
