Sirma Voyvoda (1776–1864) was a Bulgarianhajduk (irregular fighter).[1] Disguised as a man, she participated in the guerilla movement in Ottoman Vardar Macedonia between 1791 and 1813. In 1856/1857, as an 80-year-old woman, the Bulgarian educator Dimitar Miladinov met her in Prilep.[2] In their collection Bulgarian Folk Songs the Miladinov brothers recorded a song about Sirma Voyvoda.[3] Per the note that Dimitar Miladinov left under this song № 212, which refers to Sirma Vojvoda, she married a Bulgarian Mijak from Krushevo.[4] She was killed by Turks in 1864. Sirma Voyvoda is recognized as a patriotic heroine also in what is today North Macedonia.[5]

^„Таја песна је од Гаре, село од Долна Дебра - Сирма се роди во Дебарско село Тресанче. Девојка бидвеештем под мăшко облекло опходи как војвода планините Бабин Трап, Стогово, Барбара, Карчин. Момците кои таја водеше, ја узнаха како девојка, кога је се скинаха петлиците од грăдите. Таја на еден ден од Крушово појде в Прилеп и се врати назад; и од Крушово појде в Кичево т.е. на еден ден истрча растојање од осумнадесет часа. Таја се мăжи на еден Миак Бăлгарин од Крушово. Неја осумдесетгодишна видохме во Прилеп, и од устата нејѕина чухме за младоста је. В одајата је под перница држеше кубурите полни, и сабји, обесени на ѕидот, висеха над неа. Д. М.“ Miladinovci, 1983, song 212, p. 299.
