[[Image:Jefimija.jpg??|right]][http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/authors/show/3211 Jefimija] can be considered the first Serbian woman poet. Her works are embroidered texts which follow in a rich tradition of embroidery among Serbian noblewomen, thus making the beginning of Serbian women’s writing closely connected to textural practices. Born as Jelena Mrnjav?evi? around 1349, she was taught to read and write in Serbian and Greek and learned fine embroidery. She married Emperor Dušan the Great’s son Uglješa, then a ‘despot’ (ruler, emperor) in 1365. Sadly, Uglješa was killed during the battle on river Marica in 1371, a crucial stage in Ottoman’s conquest of the Balkan. Jelena, only 22 when her husband died, had already lost her only son before that. 

Jelena went to Milica and Lazar’s royal court in Kruševac, a city soon to become a mythical place of Serbian culture because of the approaching Battle of Kosovo. This battle would become yet another blow in her unhappy life, because Lazar, whose hospitality she relied on, was killed during the battle. Jelena and her distant cousin duchess Milica became nuns, taking on the names Jefimija and Jevgenija.
Jefimija’s [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/works/show/9636 first known work] is engraved on a gilt plaque on a little diptych (6,5 x 7,7 cm) of a small icon, which was supposed to be a gift to her son on his christening by the metropolitan of Serres. The text is dated sometime between 1369-1371 and can be seen as the beginning of Serbian women’s literature. Basically, the text expresses her grief for her dead son. 

Her next known work is [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/works/show/9638 an embroidered text] for the Hilandar Monastery at the Holy Mount Athos. Her most significant literary work is the [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/works/show/8773 embroidery] for the cover of the reliquary containing Duke Lazar’s remnants in the Ravanica Monastery. The cloth measures 99 x 69 cm and is embroidered with gold plated silver thread. The text of the Appraisal of duke Lazar is translated into English by Celia Hawkesworth and can be found in ''Voices in the Shadows: Women and Verbal Art in Serbia and Bosnia'' (Hawkesworth, 2000, 83). Nowadays, the embroidered cover of Duke Lazar’s reliquary is kept in the [http://www.spc.rs/Muzej/Tekstil/tekstil.html Museum of Serbian Church].
