Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Heroine of 1821 offers a critical look at the life and times of one of the most important figures in modern Greek history, expanding readers’ understanding of Bouboulina’s continued presence in popular culture and her impact on feminism and diasporic Greek identity.
Using a variety of methodologies from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, this volume is the first to present an in-depth analysis of the life and times of Laskarina Bouboulina, the legendary heroine of the Greek Revolution and one of the most important figures in modern Greek history, the Mediterranean, and indeed, the world. At the age of fifty and mother to ten children, Bouboulina commanded a fleet of ships from the island of Spetses and became the first female admiral in world naval history. But her success on the battlefield is only part of the story – by considering her three-century impact on feminism, cultural production, and as a touchstone of diasporic Greek identity, the contributors to this volume also expand our understanding of her far-reaching and under-recognized contributions.
