Happy International Women’s day everyone! Here is just one brave, strong and courageous woman from the past: Donka Ushlinova also known as Donka Voivoda. Donka and her sister-in-law Srebra are one of the first women to become members of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization against Ottoman rule in Macedonia. Donka was not just a soldier in the Illinden Uprising, but she also fought in the Balkan Wars and WWI. For her heroism, she was awarded medals for courage ...III and IV orders. To all women, past to present we salute you #MacedonianHistory #MacedonianWomen #InternationalWomensDay

We are starting the new year with a fascinating Zoom presentation by Professor Loring Danforth who will speak on, "Three Countries, Two Lakes, One Future (The Prespa Region). Danforth will examine the history of the meaning of Prespa to understand its significance as the site for the signing of the agreement that bears its name. At certain times, Prespa has occupied positions of great political importance; at others, it has seemed to lie forgotten at the margins of the Balka...ns. Learn more about the history of Prespa with Professor Danforth on February 24, 2021, beginning at 7:30 p.m. (EST).
