This study, of comparative and analytical theater studies and dramaturgy, presents three cases of women playwrights during the Greek Revolution of 1821, who are also early examples of women's literary activity in modern Greece and the first female dramatists.
Mitió Sakellariou (1789 - after 1863), Elizaveta Moutzan-Martinengou (1801-1832), and Evanthia Kairi (1799 - after 1866) are almost contemporaries, and their literary and dramaturgical activity falls within the years of the Struggle or even slightly earlier: Mitió Sakellariou from around 1810-1818, Elizaveta Moutzan-Martinengou from 1820-1825, and Evanthia Kairi from around 1817 to 1828.
All three, modest, reserved, avoiding publicity and projection, surrounded by distinguished and educated men—fathers, brothers, and teachers—are examples of the early Greek feminism in theater, which emerged very early and is connected to the Enlightenment and the patriotism of the era of the Greek Revolution.
