The Society of Kalamata ‘23 March’ with the support of the Delphi Bank and the Victorian Government has published a bilingual book written entitled ‘Greek Women of Influence’ and written by Peter Andrinopoulos.
The book highlights the influence and contributions of women of Greek background throughout the world over the last 200 years.
The book ties in with one of the pillars of the Greece 2021 committee launched by the Greek Government centred on “Greeks who left their mark on the world in the last 200 years”. It is a lasting tribute to significant women’s accomplishments of Greek background and in it you will find women from around the world who have excelled in their field of endeavour.
These women stem from diverse fields, including Academia, Administration, Allied Health, Arts, Adventure Sports, Armed Forces, Banking, Cooking, Design, Education, Engineering, Entertainment, Fine Art, Government, Journalism, Judiciary, Law, Medicine, Music, News, Olympics, Opera, Philanthropy, Playwright, Poetry, Politics, Religion, Resistance Fighting, Revolutionary Leaders, Royalty, Universities, Science, Space, Sport and Writing.
The book will be launched by the Hon Lily D'Ambrosio, Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, and will be held at Alphington Grammar School, 18 Old Heidelberg Road in Alphington on Sunday 26th June 2022 at 2:00 pm.
