In recent years it has become the current debate about gender convergence in criminal areas, though many more men than women continue to be engaged in criminal activities. In relation to the participation of women in suicide attacks, appeared in numerous publications that explore this theme, which contributed valuable, non-integrated knowledge and spreading in many disciplines. Although men are conventional and traditionally seen as the leaders of the armed rebellion, women today are increasingly becoming a key strategic asset in the field of suicide terrorism. This paper will attempt to overcome this stereotypical impressions, and examine some of the structural conditions that play a decisive role for women to engage in acts of violence. Female suicide attacks are more deadly than those carried out by men. Also, are also considered particularly shocking because such actions violate gender norms and stereotypes of companies from which the attackers came from. Participation of women in terrorism through the prism of the media and policy-makers makes it look as if it were a recent phenomenon, but history shows that their participation was present from the very beginning historical .
