A Contribution to the History of Muslim Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina ONE FORGOTTEN TEACHER – HASNIJA BERBEROVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: It wasn't until 1909 that the first Bosniak woman in Bosnia and Herzegovina passed the teacher certification exam. Her name was Hasnija Berberovic who worked as a teacher for 29 years (1909-1938) in the Muslim primary and higher girls' school in Sarajevo in the first half of the 20th century, during the period of two different states (Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovens). In the 1930's she worked as a principal of the Gajret Convict for girls in Sarajevo, a member and an activist of the women's society 'Gajret' and one of the founders and the first president of the Muslim women's society 'Osvitanje' in Sarajevo. She had worked as a teacher and an activist in cultural and educational organizations during a period when any such activity wasn't simple because a woman in Islam is equal but when among men, she isn't.
