A few words about the book.

An exciting historical journey starting from the Revolution of 1821 and ending with the pandemic and the MeToo movement of 2021. It provides essential historical and political knowledge about the 200 years of the modern Greek nation-state that every Greek man and woman needs to possess.

Major historical events, the role of political and military leadership, triumphs and national disasters, the role of women, and the ideas that shaped modern Greece are recorded in detail.

Amidst the clamor of politics and historical events, we witness the peaceful uprising of female sapiens, who, under the banner of universal values, claim their fundamental human rights and gender justice.

– What was the influence of European and Neo-Hellenic Enlightenment?

– What is the role of the Greek diaspora and the West?

– What was the dynamic participation of women in the victorious struggle against the Ottoman Empire and in subsequent wars?

The book reveals the suppressed feminist struggles and the significant contribution of women in the expansion and institutional foundation of the modern Greek state, from Ioannis Kapodistrias, King Otto, Charilaos Trikoupis, and Eleftherios Venizelos, to the contemporary European era. It provides abundant material for pride and tears, for reflection and self-awareness!
