Stoja Kašiković

Feminist, writer, editor and teacher. Born in Bosanski Novi (Novi Grad), Kašiković was orphaned as a child but would go on to pave the way for other women in public life. She was educated at Miss Irby's school in Sarajevo and also taught there in the latter part of the first decade of the 1900s. In 1891, after her husband fell ill, she became acting editor-in-chief of The Bosnian Nymph (Bosanska vila) magazine and continued to co-edit the journal after his recovery, occasionally contributing articles as well. With this, she became the first Bosnian born female editor and author.
