For additional reading:

Terzis (ed), Education in the Balkans: From the Enlightenment to the Founding of the Nation-States. Thessaloniki: Balkan Society for Pedagogy and Education, Kyriakidis, p. 315-332.
Given the absence of historical publications in English regarding the history of female education in Greece, the compulsory articles proposed by E. Fournaraki bare more generally on women’s collective action, education and nationalism in Greece of late 19th century and the first half of 20th century. More specifically, these articles help the students to place Greek women’s education within the broader context of the so called ‘woman’s question’ in the modern Greek state, that is, within the question of women’s rights and, as we would put it nowadays, within the historical character of citizenship as a gendered issue. - “Women Artists in the Modern Art of the Balkans”

Gage, who in the late 19th century both experienced and articulated the following phenomenon: the under-recognition accorded to those who have little to start with (complementing the “Matthew Effect”, made famous by Robert K. Merton in 1968, describing the phenomenon that who have will be given) (cf. Rossiter, Margaret W.: The Matthew Matilda Effect in Science. In: Social Studies of Science, 1993, 23, 325-341).
