Born in 1878 in
Kutaisi, Mikeladze completed her school education at the city's St. Nino School. In 1898, already a committed feminist, she responded to assertions of women's limited intelligence by commenting in the journal
Kvali: "The [emancipation] movement will continue until the root causes are eradicated. Science shows the causes of economic and political inequality do not result from inequality in ability or intelligence." She went on to study in
Moscow (1903) and in
Brussels, graduating in Social and Political Sciences. She then spent several years in
Paris where she followed developments in women's involvement in politics, including the activities of the British
National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and
Women's Social and Political Union. Back in Kutaisi in 1916, she strove to improve women's participation in politics by establishing the
Inter-Partial League of Women and
The Voice of Georgian Women, a newspaper promoting the social and political views of women from Georgia and elsewhere in Europe. == Legacy ==
