Empire and the following wars?
The book reveals the silenced feminist struggles and the significant contribution of female humans 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.
