Biography

Eirini grew up in a struggling middle class family in Gemani. Her mother was an Occiman peasant, but her father was a Kaisan lawyer and provided a comfortable life for them. She followed in his footsteps, studying at the University of Chypos. During her time as a student, she read the works of Ino Welukh and joined a communist social group.   In 1323, she was arrested for organizing demonstrations against the rule of the Symvouli. The judge consigned her to house-arrest at her family home in Gemani. During this time, she began reading and developing her beliefs further. She returned to university in 1326 and graduated with a degree in law in 1327. Soon, she moved back to Gemani and began working as a legal assistant. At the same time, she joined one of the libertarian revolutionary circles in Gemani, where she became well-respected. She began writing and publishing udner a pseudonym.   When the 1333 Revolution broke out, she was an important figure in the revolutionaries in Gemani that managed to establish a short-lived commune in the city. When the commune fell, the Etnofroura went to work hunting down all the known leaders. Eirini narrowly evaded capture by fleeing the city via boat. She fled to Brevia, where she lived in exile for several years. In Brevia, she started exchanging letters with Ahlist Magahwo, continuing until Magahwo's death in 1338. From her reflections on the lessons and examples of the 1333 Revolution, she wrote "The Grand Experiment: Revolution in Kaisa." This book and other writings from her time in exile became critical to the development of federalism.   She had remained in contact with Kaisan revolutionaries that had remained within the country, typically in hiding, and in 1343, she was convinced to return to Kaisa. She arrived in Kaisadroupolis and quickly fell in with the SEK. In the following year, she became one of the people crucial to the creation of the ESK, working to rebuild stronger connections between the surviving neighborhood councils from the commune days. In 1344, she helped draft the charter that built the modern federal structure of the SEK-ESK, and ever since, she has been a prominent figure in the organization.
