Jelena Dimitrijević

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jelena Dimitrijević (born 1862) was a Serbian woman writer of the late-19th and early 20th century. She wrote lyric poetry, descriptions of her travels as well as novels, but is perhaps most famous for her "Letters from Niš Regarding Harems," (1897) containing portraits of life in the Turkish harems when the south-Serbian city of Niš was still part of the Ottoman Empire.

Along with Isidora Sekulić she is one of the first Serbian feminist authors.
