Модерност у животу и делима Јелисавете Начић
Modernity in the Life and Work of Jelisaveta Načić

Summary/Abstract: The focus of this paper is the modern subjectivity and the modern attitude towards the world of Jelisaveta Načić (1878–1955), the first woman architect educated in Serbia, on which she builds her existence and individuality in the society of 19th-century Serbia. At that time, Serbia was just beginning to modernize and, under the pressure of that time, change the existing values. In turbulent times exemplified by the changes of rulers, dynasties, ideologies, the state, the patriarchal society and the stereotypes of relations between the sexes, the self-awareness of the creative potentials and the personal and professional experience of Jelisaveta Načić were not common among women. Free from numerous frameworks traditionally imposed on women, she stepped into the world of "people" in which she established herself as an active creator of buildings that earned her a place in the history of architecture.
