From a young age, Gjystina Grishaj has lived like a man.
It was her own choice.
After her father died, she decided to take care of her family.
Gjystina is a 'burrnesha', an old custom in Albania.
Albania is a country where women generally have a lower position in society.
But the 'burrnesha' custom means that women can act like men.
They can do hard, physical work, like cutting wood or working with farm animals.
They can also make important decisions.
And for Gjystina, she's never enjoyed cooking!
As a 'burrnesha', Gjystina avoided an early marriage.
She wore trousers and drank with men in the local cafe.
But she wasn't allowed to have a partner or have children.
That's why burrnesha women are known as 'virgins'.
But as one expert says, this isn't about sexuality.
Albanian society has changed since the end of communism.
The burrnesha custom's now dying out.
Gjystina used to have an important position in the local area.
These days, her brothers and sisters have moved abroad with their families.
She remains alone, in a big, empty house.
