Biography

Gërmenji was an Albanian women's rights activist. She led the regional women's association Përlindja in Korçë and built branches in Albanian villages.[1][2][3] She edited their women's magazine Mbleta, from 1921 to 1922.[4]

She was married to Albanian nationalist and guerrilla fighter Themistokli Gërmenji.[5] Shortly before he was executed due to a miscarriage of justice by a French military tribunal in 1917,[6] he wrote to his wife: “My dear Evdhoksi, I have fallen victim to fabrications. Since I am not returning to Korça and I am no longer home, you have the right to marry... Know that I die innocent."[7][8]
