The article presents the preparation of the High Social School for Women which was opened in 1932 by the Bulgarian Women’s Union (BWU). It was the first Social Work School in the Balkans. The school was a result of long-time efforts to establish an education of women for social work, to open their cultural, political, and social hori-zon as well as to raise their consciousness about family, children, and women’s ques-tions. The steps of this preparation are presented: The journal ‘The Woman’ 1929 – 1931 which discussed the need for social education and its models abroad, the decisions of the Congress of the BWU in 1930 about the preparation of social courses for women, the International Summer School of the International Women’s League for Peace and Freedom in Sofia in 1930. The educational trip in 1930 of the BWU’s activists led by its president Dimitrana Ivanova to the women’s social institutions in the Weimar Republic and especially the visit of the Alice Salomon Social Woman’s Academy in Berlin was also of great importance for the curricula preparation of the School in Sofia. One of its future lecturers Rayna Petkova was trained in the Academia in Berlin. The establishment of the High Social School for Women in Sofia was one of the most important achievements of the Bulgarian Women’s Union. It was also one of the most important contributions of the BWU to the early welfare state in Bulgaria which structure was shaped in the 1930-es.

The object of the study is the biographical trajectories of a "new" social group of women - the one of the professional translators, which appeared in Russia in the early 1860s. For the "new" women, the right to intellectual labor is an important duty, not only out of economic but also out of moral reasons, as an acceptable framework for women's freedom. The article examines in parallel the life trajectories of the leaders of the women's movement, who set the beginning of their civic organization of translators, or "Artel", as they call it.

The aim of the presented research is to give a deep insight into the life and work of three Georgian women from noble families who played a huge role in the exchange of education, science and culture worldwide after World War II. The subject of the research is the three Georgian women who, even though had to live under the shadow of their men family members’ achievements and fame, said their word in the development of various fields such as medicine, cinematography, antique literature… and contributed to establishment of ties in the mentioned fields with Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Belgium, Germany and Russia. Nino Javakhishvili (1914-2012), Tinatin Kaukhchishvili (1919-2012) and Tinatin Virsaladze (1907-1985) proved that women are equal to men; women too can make changes not only within their country but across the seas and oceans as well. The research methodology is based on comprehensive study of the resources to find out interesting facts from the life and activities of the women who had to go through not easy “path of their life” due to all political pressures or other constraints, however, played inevitable role in the development of science and culture beyond the borders of their country.

The article aims is to trace the life and scientific adaptation of three women from the Turkish community in Bulgaria who were engaged in science during the communist period.They are the only ones from the Turkish community in Bulgaria who during the communist period were engaged in science in the field of humanities. The three have different destinies in science and life, fully determined by the political circumstances and their decisions and choices. Two of them have their scientific careers interrupted - Mefkure Mollova, who refuses to give in to the political pressure of the regime and is expelled from the university and all scientific institutions in the country for the rest of her life; Hayriye Memova, who for a long time follows the rules of the regime until they asked her for an impossible compromise. The third is Zineti Nurieva, who fits into the regime and even supports and works for it. Eventually, all three women complete their scientific and life paths abroad, as emigrants.The study is based on documents from the secret archives of the State Security, memories and personal testimonies. This is so because during the communist regime the documents about the Turks were destroyed and today it’s difficult to find such in the public archives.

The name of Olga Gyuzeleva is usually mentioned in connection with the history of the Sofia Opera, as she is among its founders. In addition to being among the few female members of the intellectual elite and a participant in a revolutionary cultural endeavor, fate also connected her with one of the emblematic couples in Bulgarian literature at that time – Pencho Slaveykov and Mara Belcheva. Olga was the woman who left for Brunate in the spring of 1912 to share with Mara Belcheva the hardest months after the death of the poet. Olga Gyuzeleva was the youngest of the four daughters in the family of Stephanie Gyuzeleva and Ivan Gyuzelev. Similarly to her sister, she graduated in Dresden with a degree in music. After her return to Bulgaria, she devoted herself to versatile cultural activities - an opera singer, an actress, a pianist, a teacher, and an interpreter. In 1910 or 1911, Gyuzeleva married Major Krastyu Angelov – one of Mara Belcheva’s brothers. Valuable information about her life and activity is found in her personal archive, which has not been explored yet. In the 1917/1918 season, she was a full-time actress in the National Theatre, performing parties in the operas of Gounod, Bizet, Verdi, etc. At the same time, she was teaching private solo singing and piano lessons in Sofia and Varna. In 1925, she was wounded during the terrorist attack on St. Nedelya Church. She died lonely at the age of 91 in a nursing home in Kazanlak.
Olga Gyuzeleva的名字通常与索菲亚歌剧院的历史联系在一起，因为她是它的创始人之一。除了作为知识精英中为数不多的女性成员和革命文化努力的参与者之外，命运还将她与当时保加利亚文学中具有象征意义的一对夫妇——潘乔·斯拉维科夫和玛拉·贝尔切娃联系在一起。1912年春天，奥尔加前往布鲁纳特，与玛拉·贝尔切娃一起度过了诗人去世后最艰难的几个月。Olga Gyuzeleva是Stephanie Gyuzeleva和Ivan Gyuzelev家四个女儿中最小的一个。和姐姐一样，她毕业于德累斯顿，获得了音乐学位。回到保加利亚后，她投身于多种文化活动——歌剧演唱家、演员、钢琴家、教师和翻译。在1910年或1911年，Gyuzeleva嫁给了Major Krastyu Angelov——Mara Belcheva的一个兄弟。关于她的生活和活动的宝贵信息在她的个人档案中被发现，这些档案尚未被发掘。在1917/1918演出季，她是国家剧院的全职女演员，在古诺、比才、威尔第等歌剧中表演晚会。与此同时，她在索菲亚和瓦尔纳教授私人独奏和钢琴课程。1925年，她在圣内德里亚教堂的恐怖袭击中受伤。她在卡赞拉克的一家养老院孤独地去世，享年91岁。

The aim of the presented paper is to explore the distinguished Georgian women, representatives of one family, the family of Kipiani, with invaluable contribution not only to the achievements of the Georgian community but the development of science, cul-ture, education, and art worldwide. The paper will display outstanding faces from the history of Georgian feminism including Nino (Tatishvili-maiden surname) Kipiani (1867-1937), Nino (Ninuca) Kip-iani (1877-1920), Barbare Kipiani (1879-1965), Elene Kipiani (1855-1890) with their big role in establishment and development of close contacts with European countries in the fields of education, science, media, and art. Barbare Kipiani was the first Georgian member of the Academy of Medicine in France who also was conducting lectures in the universities in Brussels, Paris, and Geneva. The Georgian girl from an aristocratic family became a secretary of the magazine "Revue Psychology" of the University of Brussels.Nino (Tatishvili) Kipiani, a stateswoman and publicist translated children’s stories from French into Georgian. She translated a famous historical novel “Spartacus” and a short story by. I. Franko. The establishment of Georgian Theatre is also related to her. Elene Kipiani translated literary works of Hugo and Moliere from French. She also was an actress of Georgian theater. The methodology of the presented research foresees the analysis of the archive materials of the Georgian National Centre of Manuscripts through which we intend to reveal the constraints and obstacles women from Kipiani family had to overcome in the course of carrying out numerous socially and culturally valued activities.

The article presents a specific biographical case for an unrealized female academic career because of the changed political regime in Bulgaria after 1944. The documentary traces of Kostadinka (Dina) Tvardishka are preserved and "hidden" in the archive of her husband (the artist Dimitar Rizov) in Bulgarian Central State Archives. In 1941, through the German Scientific Institute in Sofia, K. Tvardishka studied in Germany with scholarships granted by the foundation Alexander von Humboldt. Until the summer of 1944, under the leadership of the famous Prof. Constantin von Dietze, at the University of Freiburg, she developed a dissertation on "Social problems of the Bulgarian village" (Die sozialen Probleme des bulgarischen Dorfes). Her research was almost completed when a pro-Soviet regime of government was established in Bulgaria. Fearing political repression, like dozens of other students and postgraduate students in the Bulgarian-German scientific networks from the WWII period, K. Tvardishka never returned to scientific work, and her study was never published.
