Alexandra Papadopoulou (author)

Alexandra Papadopoulou (January 1867 Constantinople - 8 March 1906) was a Greek short story writer, columnist, teacher and publicist.

[3] In 1886 she received a teacher's degree, but was unable to continue her studies with a scholarship because of her innovative views on pedagogical issues.

[4] In Constantinople, she was the home teacher of the children of Fotis Fotiadis, the doctor and scholar who was a pioneer form of educational municipalism in the Ottoman capital through the "Brotherhood of the National Language" association.

In 1887, Papadopoulou and Charikleia Korakidou published Imerologion ton Kyrion [Ladies' Calendar], a publication with women's themes, in Constantinople.

[6] Alexandra Papadopoulou died on 8 March 1906, from stomach cancer, in the Balıklı Greek Hospital in the Yedikule quarter, "coincidentally on the day dedicated to women's rights" as the literary critic Mari Theodosopoulou has observed.
