An exciting historical journey starting from the Revolution of 1821 and ending with the pandemic and the MeToo movement of 2021. A fundamental 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, as well as the ideas that shaped modern Greece are thoroughly documented. Amidst the politics and historical events, we witness the peaceful uprising of oppressed women who, with universal values as their flag, fight for their fundamental human rights and gender justice. What was the influence of European and modern Greek Enlightenment? What was 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 the subsequent wars?

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