Born in 1877, died in 1958. She worked in schools and high schools until he asked to retire and spent most of his life in the Your Palagića 70 on Topcider hill, in whose cemetery and buried. In Backa was born, but the province has never seen as “their”. She was a lady of Belgrade. The first woman in the SASA, the first Serbian woman (1913) visited Norway.

Her best known works are the Letters from Norway, Chronicle provincial cemeteries …. Isidora was married, albeit brief and unhappy because her husband died young of tuberculosis. Just this disease was the fate that followed her throughout life, taking at her previous entire family and leaving her alone to struggle with poor health and constant migraines. Probably this is what has influenced and shaped her personality is making is so solitary, closed and stable.
