Ekaterina Nencheva's father was a medic,who took part in the Aprilskoto Vyzstanie (Revolution in April)(1876) and Russo-Turkish War(1877-1878). He died in 1902 in Nikopol and this fact seriously affected the family. Next year at the same time Ekaterina's 15 years old brother killed himself. These tragic events put a heavy imprint on the soul of the future poet. All her life she had been traveling a lot because of his father and then her husband's profession. She worked as a teacher in Kustendil, Nova Zagora, Pazardzhik, Tyrgovishte, Haskovo, Rila. In Vraca she was sick and came back to Plovdiv, where she died of tuberculosis one year later.
