Princess Elizabeth Orbeliani (Georgian: ელისაბედ ორბელიანი; b. 1871 - d. 1942) was a Georgian poet, translator, and philanthropist, who worked on improving the rights of women.[1] She was the first ever woman to teach at the Tbilisi State University, of which she is considered a co-founder.[2]
Orbeliani was once the lady of the Orbeliani Palace, which currently serves as home to the President of Georgia. To this day, there is a room in the palace dedicated to her memory[3] and it is used to receive foreign dignitaries.[4]
