Abstract
This paper examines the contribution of the women of the Boletini family across different historical periods, highlighting their role in preserving the family, educating younger generations, overcoming hardships, and supporting patriotic activities. In Albanian historiography, attention has often focused on the male figures of families and national movements, while the contribution of women has remained largely in the background. Through an examination of the Boletini family, this paper seeks to highlight this important dimension of history. A central place in the analysis is given to “Ajshja”, the mother of Isa Boletini, who is presented as an influential figure in his education and patriotic formation. In addition to their everyday family responsibilities, the women of this family faced a range of difficult circumstances, including wars, family losses, economic insecurity, imprisonment, and restrictions imposed by political regimes. The case of Ajshja, who at one point during the armed confrontation around Isa Boletini’s tower was also described as actively participating in providing moral support to the fighters, demonstrates a broader role of women beyond that limited solely to the family sphere. The paper also addresses other female figures of the Boletini family, including “Adile Boletini, Advije Gashi Boletini, Hasibe Boletini, and Atife Boletini”, highlighting their experiences in education, family life, and their encounters with political repression. In this way, the contribution of women is addressed as an integral part of the history and heritage of the Boletini family, as well as of the national memory transmitted across generations.
