Babilina Khositashvili

Babilina Khositashvili (1884–1973) was a Georgian poet, feminist and labour rights activist.

After a short spell in a monastery, she moved to Tbilisi where, unable to afford higher education, she studied in the library.

She found employment in a publishing house and began to write poetry, initially about the problems of the working class, later about love and women's constant struggle for enhancement.

Finding employment in a printing shop where she was able to observe the lives of workers, she developed an interest in the revolutionary movement.

She became an active observer of the feminist movement, suffragism and world developments in women's emancipation.
