Zora Prica (Serbian Cyrillic: Зора Прица; Senj, Austria-Hungary, 1883 - Senj, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, 1922) was a Serbian pedagogue, writer, one of the founders of the School of Recitation, Aesthetic Gymnastics and Living Languages, which studied acting, movement, English, French and German, associate of the magazine Zenski Svet (Women's World) and a member of the editorial board of the magazine from 1913. [1]She was also among the first feminists in Serbia.
Life and career[edit]
Zora Prica was born in Senj, where she started her primary school, and completed her primary and secondary education in Glina, Sombor, Novi Sad. In Zagreb, after attending Norma, she simultaneously attended humanities studies at the Lyceum and music classes at the Music Institute.[2]
She studied philology (English, French and German) at the University of Zurich, and attended lectures on modern philology and psychology in London.[3] After finishing her studies abroad, she worked for several months as a pedagogue with young Serbian women at the Institute of St. Mother Angelina in Pest, but soon went to a private women's high school in Munich.
With valuable experience gained in Germany, in 1910, she returned to Serbia and got a job at the Women's Gymnasium in Belgrade.
In her pedagogical work, she was very modern for her time and constantly pointed out the importance of education, work, manners and social engagement of women, saying:
"A conscious Serbian woman has freed herself from sentimental conservatism, and amateurish superstition, that it is a shame to work ..." However, women's secondary education, being "encyclopedic", is not useful because it overloads memory ... and does not nurture productivity ... "
Poor living conditions forced Zorka to hold many private lessons, and that is why she fails to dedicate herself to literary work to the desired extent. During 1910, with Maga Magazinović, and with the support of Jaša Prodanović, she opened the "School for recitation, aesthetic gymnastics and living languages", in which acting, movement, English, French and German were studied. She was an associate editor of the magazine Women's World and a member of the editorial board of the Serbian woman from 1913.
