Summary/Abstract: The formation of a Dobroudja emigrant women’s movement in the period between the two World Wars was a major political success for the Bulgarian national cause. The principal task of the movement was to make people aware of the injustice inflicted by the Treaty of Neuilly with respect to Dobroudja and of the need for its peaceful revision: the return of Dobroudja to Bulgaria. The main activity of the society for the population of Southern Dobroudja and its liberation, accompanied charitable, cultural and educational work both among the Dobroudja emigration and the entire Bulgarian society. The movement made a modest contribution to the positive solving of the Dobroudja question: the return of Southern Dobroudja to Bulgaria in 1940.
