ΒΙΟΓΡΑΦΙΚΟ ΣΗΜΕΙΩΜΑ - BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Ekaterini Fournaraki (1895-1928) was a Greek kindergarten teacher and gymnastics instructor who lived and worked in Rethymnon, Crete. Fournaraki founded the third kindergarten of the city of Rethymnon in 1912. She was an artist and produced embroideries of all kinds. Her designs were preserved in six scrapbooks which were donated to the ASCSA Archives in 2004 by her niece Titika Karageorgiou. The work and accomplishments of Fournaraki were recognized and praised by the local community. Her death in 1928, at the age of 35, was considered a loss for the educational community of the island of Crete.
