Summary, in English

This text is analysis of the use of violence in children's literature, specifically in the works of Penelope Delta (1874-1941), a Greek author. The analysis is concentrating of how violence is gendered and how nation and the experience of nation is gendered. It challanges the notion that nation and nationalism is a masculine discourse since Delta's use of violence is directed to both boys and girls.
