DAUGHTER OF THE EAGLE: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN ALBANIAN GIRL.
Nexhmie Zaimi. London: Blackie,1938. 244p.

" This autobiography was written by the daughter of a well-to-do Muslim 
goverment official in Vlora. It contains interesting eye-witness accounts of 
the
successful armed struggle to drive the Italian occupying forces from Vlora
in 1920, and of the life of the nomadic Vlachs. The spectre of disease and
premature death is never far away, even from affluent families like
Zaimis. The most gripping part of the story tells of the girl's victorious
struggle to go to high school, resist the veil, escape an arranged marriage
and finally emigrate to the freer atmosphere of America. The story provides
an excellent background to the study of Albania just before the Second World
War." ( fund i citimit nga libri ALBANIA i autores Antonia Young)
