Jelisaveta Načić (1878–1955) arhitektkinja Iako se krajem 19. veka u Srbiji, u kojoj je samo sedamodsto žena bilo pismeno, nije blagonaklono gledalo na obrazovanje žena, ćerka uglednog trgovcaMihajlaNačića bila je prva žena koja će diplomirati arhitekturu u Beogradu. Njenaželja zaobrazovanjemjebila toliko jaka da je za to potrošila sav svoj miraz! Radila je u Ministarstvu građevine na mestu crtača kao prva žena koja je radila u službi rezervisanoj za muškarce, i to samo one koji su služili vojsku, a potom i u Inženjersko-arhitektonskom odeljku Beogradske opštine, otvorivši, uzdrDragu Ljočić, vrata javnogsektora i za žene. Bila je prva žena glavna arhitektkinjaBeograda, aKalemegdan, koji je uređivala između dva svetska rata, bio je najotmenije beogradsko šetalište.

Uvekpatriotkinje, često su balansirale između borbe za lično ostvarenje i okova koje im je nametalo patrijarhalno društvo Always patriotic, they often struck a balance between their personal struggle for self-realisation and the shackles imposed on them by a patriarchal society JELISAVETANAČIĆ (1878-1955) ARCHITECT Despite women’s education being frowned upon in the Serbia of the late 19th century, where only seven per cent of women were literate, the daughter of prominent merchant Mihajlo Načić was the first woman to graduate from architecture studies in Belgrade. Her desire to be educatedwas so strong that shespent her entiredowryonher studies! SheworkedattheMinistryofConstruction as a draftswoman, becoming the first woman to work in a service that had previously been reserved exclusively for men, and only those who had served in the army, then she went on to work at the Engineering and Architectural Department of the Municipality of Belgrade, thus paving the way – along with Dr Draga Ljočić – for women to work in the public sector. She was the first woman to serve as the chief architect of Belgrade, while Kalemegdan, which she administered during the interwar period, was Belgrade’s most elegant esplanade. Among the architectural masterpieces of that period are her building of the King Peter I Primary School, the Church of St. Alexander Nevsky and the first complex of workers' apartments in the Balkans. When it comes to the beautiful details of thecapital, her famousSmall Staircase in Kalemegdan Park remains remembered for its elegance.
