Abstract: For a compact surface $S$, let $mathcalI(S)$ denote the Torelli group of $S$. For a compact orientable surface $Sigma$, $mathcalI(Sigma)$ is generated by BSCC maps and BP maps. For a non-orientable closed surface $N$, $mathcalI(N)$ is generated by BSCC maps and BP maps. In this paper, we give an explicit normal generating set for $mathcalI(N_g^b)$, where $N_g^b$ is a genus-$g$ compact non-orientable surface with $b$ boundary components for $ggeq4$ and $bgeq1$.
