During the two and a half months of the exhibition “Great Women of Serbian Culture”, the contribution of women to our culture and art and women’s creative works of the second half of the 19th and the 20th century were additionally highlighted. Until a little over a hundred years ago, their works were almost unrecognized and unknown to the public, but even today little or insufficient is known about women’s creativity, said the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality Brankica Janković at the closing of the exhibition. The last professionally guided tour through the exhibition was held by the hosts from the Jevrem Grujić Home for the employees of the Commissioner, and once again reminded them of the importance that eighteen great women had in Serbian creativity.

During the exhibition, visitors had the opportunity to get acquainted with the works and artifacts of great women, including the writer Milica Stojadinović Srpkinja, painters Mina Karadžić, Poleksija Todorović, Vidosava Kovačević, Beta Vukanović, Leposava St. Pavlović, Zora Petrović, Nadežda Petrović, Milena Pavlović Barili, Ljubica Cuca Sokić, medical doctor Draga Ljočić, writer and first woman member of SASA Isidora Sekulić, architect Jelisaveta Načić, first woman journalist Marija Maga Magazinović, philosopher and writer Anica Savić Rebac, writer Desanka Maksimović, first woman composer Ljubica Marić and first woman director Soja Jovanović. Through the presented works and personal artifacts, their life stories and achievements were conveyed, and it is especially important that the youngest population visited the exhibition within special guided tours, which enabled them to hear about women who first enrolled in faculties, were the first women writers, became the first women doctoral students, Janković stated.

The exhibition, sponsored by the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, together with the Ministry of Culture and Information and the Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade, was seen by almost five thousand visitors.
