Possibly outdated reference

A lot of information in this article seems to rely on a 1983 paper by Jill Dubisch (Greek Women: Sacred or Profane. Journal of Modern Greek Studies. 185- 202.). Specifically, this is the only reference provided for the information under the section "In religion". I was unable to access the paper for verification, but, in any case, we might be using information here that is over 30 years old to describe the current situation.

Ideally, a more recent source should be included, or the statements should be qualified to make it clear when this information was valid (for example, "Until at least 1983, X, Y and Z was the situation").

I made some changes that I think improved the section.2A02:2F0A:507F:FFFF:0:0:BC1B:4469 (talk) 20:16, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

I removed the tag now, after several other changes. I think the article is now in an acceptable state. 2A02:2F0A:507F:FFFF:0:0:BC1B:4469 (talk) 21:10, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Expert attention

I think this article really needs some attention, and possibly complete rewriting, from an expert on the topic. I've tried my best to improve the language and sources in the intro, but I'm not an expert on the subject and I can't do much, short of deleting most of it. This article is filled with generalisations, questionable statements or opinions stated as fact, unsourced statements and a biased tone.

But the biggest problem that stopped me from further editing the existing text is that it's not really the content I would expect in an article called "Feminism in Greece". What I would expect to see is first some relevant historical background both for Feminism and Greece. How did the movement come to Greece? Who were the key people (the names "Callirrhoe Parren" and "Soteria Aliberty" appear in the article but without any information), and what did they do? How did we get from that to the 1952 law on women's suffrage that is mentioned early in the article? How did the movement evolve over time, and what happened, if anything, during crucial times in Greece's recent history (WWII and German occupation or the time of the military junta)? What other milestones have been achieved? And what is the present situation from a philosophical, political, social and economic perspective?

There's probably more than a book's worth of interesting material if one went into depth. Instead, the current article reads like a feminist's lament, and I think there's a very good chance the original was an essay for somebody's feminist-studies class (C- at best). So I'm adding the Expert needed template until things are improved.
