Katarina Jovanović

Katarina A. Jovanović (8 April 1869 – 31 May 1954) was a Serbian translator, literary historian, publicist, philosopher, journalist and humanitarian.

She translated into German Petar II Petrović Njegoš's masterpiece "Mountain Wreath" (Gorski Vijenac).

Never forgetting her homeland, Katarina started her humanitarian work during the Balkan Wars.

Thanks to her work, the Swiss Red Cross sent its mission and hospital in 1914, when the World War I broke out.

She participated in the founding of the Department for Serbian Soldiers at the Swiss Red Cross and the "Zurich Bureau for the Location of Missing Persons", which was re-established during the World War II.
