In 1896 she founded the Ergani Athina and which name was changed in 1911 to Πανελλήνια Εταιρεία Γυναικών (Panhellenic Women's Society); its main objective was to organize exhibitions of women's handicrafts and to establish charitable homes. From 1899 to 1902 she was editor of the magazine Pleiad (λογοτεχνικό περιοδικό Πλειάδες), the organ of Ergani Athina which main goal was to promote the education of Greek women. In 1916 a Commemorative Album of the Panhellenic Women's Society (Αναμνηστικό Άλμπουμ της Πανελλήνιας Εταιρείας Γυναικών) was published. In the Εφημερίδα των Κυριών (Ladies' Newspaper) Aliberti, used as pen-name Αττική Γυναίκα (Attic Woman) published "the first biographies of distinguished Greek women," articles which were later to be published in three volumes entitled Γιορτές και Διακεκριμένες Ελληνίδες (Celebrated and Distinguished Greek Women).

She demanded Women's rights even in belligerent matters. "I have never been married and can thus not be a widow and I have never been wounded and can thus not be an invalid. Through its previouly mentioned ruling, [the Secretariat] excluded me from the rights of the rest of the army's officers, as if my services to the homeland were of another kind than those of the other officers and as if the nation, in its calls and deecrees, had make a distinction between men and women who served the homeland in the military area."
