(Two Modern Croatian Women Philosophers)

Sažetak
Elza Kučera (1883–1972) is best known as the first female librarian in Croatia. It is less known that she was also passionate experimental psychologist. Furthermore, she had doctoral degree in philosophy from the University of Zürich, she translated from German and Hungarian language, she was involved in feminist movement, and had an extensive correspondence with prominent people of her time. Although she was a remarkable and educated woman, except for a few encyclopaedic entries she is almost completely forgotten. Another Croatian woman philosopher of the period was Ivana Rossi (1892–1963). She was the first Croatian woman to receive a PhD title from the University of Zagreb in 1916. The topic of her dissertation was The Basic Thoughts of Henry Bergson's Philosophy and it testifies about the contemporary reception of Henri Bergson, who was alive at the time when she wrote her dissertation. Rossi spent her entire professional career working as a high school teacher in Zagreb. She is also famous as translator of James Barrie’s Peter Pan in Kensington Park which is the first Croatian translation of a book on Peter Pan
