Join the Women's Center in celebrating Women's History Month at a special screening of the documentary film:
The Brave Stepped Back: The Life and Times of Laskarina Bouboulina
[Laskarina]
is the first woman in world naval history to have earned the title of
Admiral for her command of the Spetses fleet in crucial naval battles.
Her life represents an alternative history to the masculinist and
nationalistic depictions of the Greek War of Independence, as told in
both Greek and philhellenic literatures.
The film was produced by Dr. April Householder, Director of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships, UMBC
We
look forward to having you with us as we celebrate Women's History
Month, and Dr. Householder's contribution to feminist scholarship.
