Life stories...
Kallirhoe Parren studied at the best school for girls in Athens and in 1878 she graduated from the Arshakeion School for training teachers. She was very intelligent and knew many languages including Russian, French, Italian, and English.
She was a teacher and a journalist too. . She launched the feminist movement with the founding of a newspaper, Ephimeris ton kirion (Women's Journal), in 1887. The newspaper finally stopped running when in 1917 Parren was exiled by Eleftherios Venizelos’ administration to the island of Hydra, because she opposed Greece’s involvement in WWI on the side of the Entente. Kallirhoe Parren played a key role in ensuring the women’s right to vote. The first attempt was in 1895, when she addressed the Prime Minister Charilaos Trikoupis asking him to guarantee political rights of women. Later, in 1921, she organized the second women conference in Greece, thus persuading the Prime Minister Dimitrios Gounaris be placed personally in favour of granting the right of vote to women . Ensuring the right to vote to women took too long to be administered and Kallirhoe Parren never saw her dream for women's empowerment to come true in the political scene of the country.
