Summary/Abstract: This paper proves that another travel writings by Jelena J. Dimtirijević Pisma iz Soluna [Letters from Thessaloniki] (1908/1918) had its own “addressee” or “male manipulator” as her first travel writing Pisma iz Niša. O haremima (1897) which Jelena Dimitrijević explored, sending to him quite new arguments. Researchers of Dimitrije- vić’s Pisma iz Soluna have not examined the public media to which Jelena Dimitrijević had not believe or why she had not believed the news about quickly and successfully gained emancipation of Turkish women. By comparing her travel writings Pisma iz Soluna with the same titled reports, which Bransilav Nušić as a special reporter sent to Belgrade’s daily Politika, this paper displays two different journalistic approaches and two different truths about the news of quickly and successfully gained emancipation of Turkish women during the Young Turks Revolution, in the summer of 1908 in Thessaloniki. Thanks to Dimitrijević’s Pisma iz Soluna, Nušić’s support to Turkish female revolutionists reveals as false, which hides inappropriate descriptions and comments, and equally negative, superficial and incorrectly reports about the emancipation of Turkish women. With her Pisma iz Soluna, Jelena Dimitrijević crossed again the border of proscribed/allowed woman’s role in the Serbian patriarchal society, acting as the first Serbian feminist and investigative journalist in political section, which was exclusively the profession of Serbian men.
