During the Commune in 1871 fires were started throughout Paris by the pétroleuses - women arsonists who threw kerosene bombs into buildings, seen as symbols of the ancien régime, and some British suffragettes had a go at burning down the boathouse in our park in 1911 - but for some reason I think the fires, where started deliberately, in Greece are the work of men.
Or, started by women?
