About the book
Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, Milka Trnina, Slava Raškaj, Dora Pejačević, Marija Jurić Zagorka, Vesna Parun, Helga Vlahović… are only some of the 55 remarkable women artists, scientists, inventors, doctors, journalists, philanthropists, architects, athletes and teachers who made their mark in their respective fields.
They followed their dreams, worked hard, refused to be discouraged and remained persistent in pursuing what they loved. Along the way, they encountered obstacles they had to overcome, walls they had to break down and prejudices they had to challenge. And they succeeded. They were unique and true to themselves.
This book of life stories of both well-known and lesser-known women is an inspiring invitation to explore, to work and to empower oneself as well as to acquire knowledge, skills and self-confidence. It shows how diligence, curiosity, creativity, courage and perseverance can push boundaries and make a lasting contribution to society as a whole.
We look forward to welcoming you!
