In the time-period between 700 and 300 BCE, this was often true for the women of the world, but there was one major exception: Spartan women. In most other parts of ancient Greece, women were expected to be seen and not heard. Spartan women, however, were allowed much more freedom than their contemporaries. They were allowed to own property, could live independently, and were not forced into marriage and motherhood at a young age.

Indeed, there has been explicit and vocal policy activism since the end of the dictatorship in the mid-1970s to redress some of the most salient aspects of gender discrimination in the legal framework and gender gaps in economic outcomes, with a focus on employment. It is useful to situate the gender trends in the context of three distinct periods. In the first phase, from WW2 to 1980, Greece was a more-or-less successful developing economy, trying to qualify for what was then the European Community. This was the time of the explicit “male-breadwinner model”. Very few women were in employment – just three out of ten – and of those who were working, one out of three had the status of “unpaid family member”. The context was one of fast growth, a large primary sector, big and closely knit families, urbanization and fluid borders between the family firm/farm and the family.

  • Gender in Modern Greek Historiography
    Historian Rüdiger Hachtmann has described Gender in the history of tourism in Germany as a “small wallflower with a future”.1 He wishes not only modern Greek to stress its remarkable potential to develop but also the difficulties faced by scholars who historiography engage with it. This metaphor also beautifully demonstrates the condition of gender history in Greece, especially given its capacity to help in the reconsideration of deeply entrenched histo­ riographical assumptions. This article analyses the diverse and shifting approaches to gender in the historiography of modern Greece, a term which is used inter­ changeably in the article with modern Greek historiography. Some clarifications from the outset are necessary, however, concerning the scope of my analysis. The article addresses his­ torians who were at a point linked to Greek aca­ demia, as students, members of staff or who might have worked on the history of Greece in the late modern era while based in non­Greek academic environments. In so doing, the arti­ cle addresses works in which Greece is consid­ ered in some way: as a context where shifting Nikolaos Papadogiannis gender relations have unfolded; and/or where Bangor University representations of Greece/Greekness and their gender connotations are studied. The analysis also includes Greek diasporic identities where these have been studied in relation to gender. However, I probe the extent to and the ways in which historians who have dealt with these identities regard them as part of the history of modern Greece. In dealing with these settings, I concentrate on the late modern era, namely from the late eighteenth century onwards: I do not regard the modern Greek state or the Greek national identities that emerged in this period as a continuation of polities and identities that had existed beforehand.
