Gyulboor Davydova

Gyulboor Shaulovna Davydova (Russian: Гюльбоо́р Шау́ловна Давы́дова; March 8, 1892 – April 9, 1983) was a Soviet winegrower of Mountain Jewish descent.

She was a manager of the collective farm named after Kaganovich in the Dagestan ASSR, the Soviet Union.

Gyulboor Davydova was born on March 8, 1892, in the Mountain Jewish village of Khoshmenzil, Dagestan Oblast, Russian Empire, in a peasant family.

[1] In 1928, when the collective farm “New Life” was formed in the village, Gyulboor Davydova was not accepted into it, believing that women could not work on an equal basis with men.

[1][2] On July 27, 1949, for obtaining high grape yields in 1948, the title of Hero of Socialist Labor was awarded to her by the decree of Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the highest body of state authority in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
