Parashqevi Qiriazi, one half of the iconic “Motrat Qiriazi” duo, was born on June 2nd, 1880 in Monastir, Macedonia. One of ten children, she quickly followed in her brother Gjerasim’s and sister Sevasti’s footsteps by helping them teach students the written Albanian language at the Girl’s School (“Shkolla e Vashave”), that Gjerasim and Sevasti opened, when Parashqevi was only 11 years old.

After studying in Istanbul, Parashqevi worked as a teacher in Korçë, Albania with her sister Sevasti. In 1908, she was the only woman to participate in the Congress of Monastir (“Kongresi i Manastirit,” an academic conference held in Manastir from November 14-22, 1908, with the goal of standardizing the Albanian alphabet), and the following year, in 1909 she published a primer (“Abetare”), for Albanian elementary schools.

That same year, she helped found “Yll' i Mëngjesit” (Morning Star), a periodical which focused on politics, culture, history, literature, etc in Albania. She also organized local libraries as well as teaching sessions for children and night schools in southern Albanian villages.

Due to the fact that she was so out-spoken and politically active, Parashqevi traveled often, becoming a prominent figure in the Albanian-American community, after moving to New York. She even partook in the “Conference of Peace” in Paris, as a representative of the rights of Albanians, in 1919.

After returning to Albania in 1921, she and her sister founded the “Kyrias” institution, an all-girls foundation located in Tiranë that provided teachers for the newly developed schools in Albania.

In October of 1928, Parashqevi founded the organization “Gruaja Shqiptare" (The Albanian Woman). This was incredibly impactful, not only because it was it was backed by the Royal Albanian Family, but also because it promoted the idea of raising Albanian women to a higher level through charitable activities, education, etc. This organization pushed against the traditional conservative way of thinking and advocated for the emancipation and rights of Albanian women, both socially and politically.

Due to her staunch anti-fascist stance, Parashqevi and a number of her family members were imprisoned during WWII. She was eventually released and returned to Albania, where she died on December 17th, 1970.

Her legacy lives on in the organizations that still function to this day and carry her name, as well as the Abetares that are still used in Albanian schools across the globe.

Tringë Smajl Martini Ivezaj, more commonly known amongst Albanians as Tringë Smajli, and as “Janica” to outsiders, was born in 1880. A member of the Grudë tribe of Malësia, she was the daughter of the clan’s leader, Smajl Martini, who was himself very active in Albanian protests and rebellions; after joining The League of Prizren, he was arrested in 1886, and his sons were killed, leaving Tringë an only child.

•

Due to the harsh lifestyle and fierce patriarchal code amongst the Highland Albanians, Tringë became a “burrneshë”(sworn virgin), taking a vow of chastity, and taking on the guise and mannerisms of a man. Burrnesha never marry & never have children but serve as the head of the family. This was done to ensure the rest of the household remained under the protection of a de facto male.

•

Tringë continued to fight for Albanians and joined the Battle of Deçiq in Montenegro in 1911. A landmark battle where Dedë Gjo Luli, another Albanian guerrilla leader and clan chieftan of the Hoti tribe, raised the Albanian flag on the mountain of Deçiq for the first time in over 400 years, after the Albanian victory over the Ottomans.

•

Often referred to as “The Albanian Joan of Arc,” Tringë not only fought battles but also participated in important meetings like the Greçë Memorandum on June 23rd, 1911, which recorded the 12 requests for the establishment of an autonomous Albanian province within the Ottoman Empire. It was written by Ismail Qemali and Luigj Gurakuq, & signed by 22 Albanian chieftains.

•

Tringë died on November 2nd, 1917, & was buried in her family’s plot in Montenegro.

•

Her valor is recorded in epic songs, streets across Shqiperia Etnike are christened in her name & she remains one of the most iconic figures in Albanian history.
