THE ARTICLES OF EKATERINA VASILEVA, OR THE COURAGE OF “A BULGARIAN WOMAN FROM BRAILA, K. M. V.”
The paper explores the origin and content of five articles sent by Ekaterina Vasileva, a revivalist intellectual with an interesting and unusual personal biography, to the newspapers Otechestvo and Turtsiya. Her publica- tions are among the rare public appearances of a female voice in the public sphere during the Bulgarian Revival period. This required courage, and Ekate- rina Vasileva demonstrated it. In several publications, she expressed her opini- on on public matters and joined in one of the heated theatrical debates that erupted around the performance in Braila of “Velisava, Bulgariann Princess” by Dobri Voynikov. Nedka Kapralova’s book Ekaterina Vasileva. Spomeni. Sti- hotvoreniya. Dopiski gives the reader a much more complete and comprehen- sive picture of the author, who transcends the limitations of her environment.
