History has never specifically focused on heroines. Little has been written about them, and most remain unknown, entirely obscure figures. No one seems particularly interested in these women who fought, excelled, or sacrificed themselves for their homeland. Only occasionally are some mentioned in passing. Who were they? Who acted? What were their deeds? What was their life, their feelings, and their character? And what role did the Greek woman play—not only in terms of circumstances but also in initiative and participation—in the national struggle?

The first enthusiastic author of this work, motivated not only by simple historical interest but also by a high sense of national pride, decided to systematically focus on the heroines, to investigate accurately their stories, and to resurrect them with the breath and flame of her enthusiasm, alive amidst the historical circumstances and events with which their lives and actions are connected.
