Dimitrana Ivanova

1881–1960

Life

Ivanova was born in Ruse. The Women’s Union brought organisations together to change laws and public attitudes. Completing an education did not always bring the right to practise a profession. Her activity belongs to these specific disputes, beyond a general appeal for respect. Worked as a teacher and public activist. Chaired the Bulgarian Women’s Union. Defended women’s right to study and enter professions. Her biography connects the history of education with civil rights.
