The history of women’s demands is long. In the mid-19th century, demands for a better position of women through education start being voiced. The interventions of women in the public sphere are mainly expressed -at first sporadically and then systematically- through publications and articles in the first women’s journals (Kypseli, Thaleia, Eurydice).
The history of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens is inextricably linked with the history of the Greek society. Named “Othonian”, “National” and “National and Kapodistrian”, the University of Athens has always been at the centre of public life and is among the institutions that had the most significant impact on the establishment of the Greek State.
Since the 19th century, the teaching staff (professors and readers) of the University formed an academic community which undertook a series of practical and symbolic roles, both within and outside of the University.
After one year of Military Command, the Dodecanese islands were now able to enter a civil administration status, which would allow for their full incorporation to the Greek mainland. With this objective in mind, the General Administration of the islands followed the organisational model of the “New Countries” - namely the territories liberated during the Balkan Wars. The governor of the Dodecanese Administration had the same grade as a Minister, enjoying increased autonomy in decision-making.
