and was formerly a school teacher in Macedonia.

This incident caused her to give up teaching , and she pledged her life for her country. She enlisted in the insurrectionist corps and has developed into an expert guerilla fighter.
Miss Atanova is known to all the revolutionists as the "Mascot of Macedonia" for whenever she is with a band she brings luck. Miss Atanova is a crack shot, and has killed five Turks in small skirmishes besides having participated in several battles.
