Jefimija (Serbian Cyrillic: Јефимија, 1349–1405), secular name Jelena Mrnjavčević (Serbian Cyrillic: Јелена Мрњавчевић, ), daughter of Vojihna and widow of Jovan Uglješa Mrnjavčević, is considered the first female Serbian poet. Her Lament for a Dead Son and Encomium of Prince Lazar are famous in the canon of medieval Serbian literature. The lament, a strictly feminine form of lyric, is common to South Slavic languages (called tužbalice in Serbian), and long narrative laments are intimately connected with heroic epic songs (e.g. Yarsolavna's lament in The Tale of Igor's Campaign).
