Abstract:
In the second half of the 19th century, the changes that took place in Europe, particularly in the Ottoman and Russian empires, including the revitalization of public life, redefined the role of the Armenian women. The latter, being involved in the Armenian national liberation struggle, distinguished themselves with innovative patriotic initiatives. Owing to their efforts, many girls’ colleges and schools were opened at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, where Armenian women played a major role in the education and upbringing of the generation involved in the national liberation struggle. With the direct participation of Armenian women, many companies and associations were founded. Tamara and Zhenya Adamyans, born and raised in Tiflis, natives of Lori, notable Armenian women Natalia Amirkhanyan-Muradyan, Natalia and Satenik Matinyans, Mariam Tumanyan and others made a great contribution to the development of these structures. Those heroic women, being the first revolutionaries and figures of the national-liberation movement, educated and brought up a whole generation, a whole constellation of famous freedom fighters, who by their actions proved the willingness and importance of serving their own people and motherland, and also confirmed the idea that apart from liberating the motherland from foreigners there is no other mission. Many of them gave their lives for the freedom of generations, always remaining faithful to the messages of the first revolutionary heroines. This study is dedicated to the life and activities of these noble and heroic Armenian women, whose origin was from Lori. Many facts are presented to the reader for the first time.
