Mara Đorđević-Malagurski

Alongside Lazarus Stipić, a librarian at the public library in Subotica, she was one of the few prominent figures from the Bunjevci.

Her grandfather, Ice Malagurski, was the first president of the Bunjevci cultural association "Pučke Kasine", founded in 1878.

In addition, she took part in the development of the Bunjevac Center of Educational Heritage (1927), and as its first president organized exhibitions of folk crafts, theater and so on.

[2] After World War II she withdrew from public life probably because of political beliefs and decree from 1945 when the communist authorities incorporate all Bunjevci to the Croatian nation.

For the story Vita Đanina i Druge Pripovetke iz Bunjevačkog Života she was awarded the SANU award at the Cvijete Zuzorić competition in 1928, and received the Order of St. Sava V level, White Eagle V level, the Russian Red Cross and Cross of Russian War Veterans.
