Summary/Abstract: On the political activity of Albanian women from the reoccupation of Kosovo by the Slavic communists in November 1945 until its liberation in June 1999, there is a multitude of court files. Well, here I would emphasize the commitment of women from the 80s, moreover, to say that they were the promoters of the spring demonstrations of 1981, in order to reveal their work and effort, and when they passed the serious challenges with dignity, these convicts I have tried to summarize in this paper. In the comments, I intend to present female personalities who are political prisoners, although it is impossible to mention the names of all the women who were imprisoned by the Serbian communist regime who went through many vicissitudes, I have decided to select three women and bring them as follows: Zyrafete Kryeziu Manaj, Nazire Curraj-Zogaj and Hafide Topalli-Kaçaniku. As for the other women that I cannot mention, I deeply apologize, and that their names are full of glory because they were the standard-bearers of Kosovo's independence. Although through writings and memorials we express immense respect to you, we never manage to ease the experiences of those who are alive today from the monstrous measures used by the Serbian udbas who made our women experience the hell of this world.
