Women and Nationalism in the Making of Modern Greece - The Founding of the Kingdom to the Greco-Turkish War (Hardcover)

Meticulously researched, this book presents a fresh challenge to notions that women were ultimately beyond politics in nineteenth century Greece, by engaging with our very definitions of the terms politics, citizenship and 'public'. Analyzing the relationship between women and nationalism, and women and politics, the author traces the development of some of the most important norms which formed, and continue to shape our society. Ideas and beliefs that we now may regard as immutable, such as the definition of politics and gender, were novel some two hundred years ago. This new history of women's lives, aspirations and choices in Greece demonstrates the relativity of such value, in order to examine the question of what constitutes 'politics' and so understand where we stand, how we got there, and how we might change.
