- Milica Stojadinovic-Srpkinja was arguably the greatest female Serbian poet of the 19th century. She was born to a family of a Serb Orthodox Church parish priest, and received acclaim for her patriotic poetry already as a teen; she expanded to other aspects of Romanticist poetry as she grew older. Except for a lower gymnasium education, she was mostly self-taught, and yet she was greatly appreciated in her lifetime by poets much more soundly academic than herself, such as Petar Petrović Njegoš, Ivan Mažuranić and Ljubomir Nenadović. As her fame spread beyond the confines of Serbian culture of the Austrian Empire, Prince Mihailo Obrenović would invite her to court when she came to Belgrade and Vienna-based anthropologist and poet Johann Gabriel Seidl devoted a poem to her. She corresponded extensively with Vuk Stefanović Karadžić and his daughter Wilhelmine/Mina, Božena Němcová, and Ludwig August von Frankl. Her work, though, has been mostly out of the public eye and almost forgotten except by literary experts for most of the 20th century, first during fin-de-siècle modernist poeticism as an outdated poetic form of pre-1870s, and later, under Communist rule as an unacceptable expression of patriotism for only one of the six nations of Yugoslavia . After Tito's death the awareness of her work was revived, and in the last quarter of a century a 4-day poetry memorial is convened annually in Novi Sad in her honour, where a poetry prize bearing her name is awarded to prominent poets from Serbia.
