Yurdanka Pukavicharova was a Bulgarian revolutionary, an activist of the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee. Together with the poet Petar Stoykov, she joined Pavel Davkov 's detachment during the Ilinden-Preobrazhensko Uprising. Simeon Radev defines her as a woman who, "She was much more resilient and adaptable to hardship than most of the men." Davkov was born in 1862 in Sarbinovo in the Ottoman Empire , today in Bulgaria . He headed the revolutionary committee in Sarbinovo. In 1901, during the " Miss Stone " affair, he was arrested, but escaped and went underground. He participated in the Gornojumai Uprising of the Supreme Committee in 1902 as a chevalier and fought at Sarbinovo on September 23, where with 120 Chetniks he defeated 90 Turkish soldiers after three hours of fighting. At that time, priest Iliya from Senokos was also with him. He also fought at Gradevo and Kresna. After the suppression of the uprising, he remained to operate in his area with a small detachment.
