Abstract
Far right political activists are not all men, there are also women among them. This very simple statement has not received enough attention from activists and educators who are combating against far right politics. Far right politics also uses its own gender politics as a mobilizing force. This statement is summarizing the state of the art research on far right and gender, giving reasons why educators and teachers should pay attention to this phenomenon, and listing strategies to use, and to avoid, while encountering women who are supporting far right radical actions. The statement also gives suggestions to educators to consider in their work, as well as references and links for further readings.
