Sarajevo

Bosnian writer from Sarajevo, the first prose writer among Bosnian Muslim women: a teacher educated in the face of the hostility her father's choice provoked, she published the Teme stories in Zeman and Biser from 1912, writing on women's emancipation, poverty and wartime displacement, before withdrawing from literary life after her marriage.
