Marija Jurić Zagorka
Marija Jurić Zagorka, born on March 2, 1873, is regarded as Croatia's most-read author and the first professional female journalist in the country. She gained fame for her novel 'Grička vještica' and served as the editor for several publications, including 'Obzor' and 'Ženski list', the first Croatian women's magazine.
