ISIDORASEKULIĆ (1877-1958)WRITER Isidora Sekulićwas the first woman academic in Serbia. As a graduatemathematician and doctor of philosophy, Serbian history is indebted to her for her literarywork. She engaged in comparative literature studies, with interruptions, in London, Paris and Berlin, receiving her doctorate in philosophy inGermany in 1922. Shewas amathematics teacher, administrator of theGirls’ School in Pančevo, then a professor in Belgrade until her retirement. She spoke six world languages andwas the first woman to serve as president of the Association ofWriters of Serbia.
