Milica Miljanov

Miljanov volunteered to the army in 1914 as a mother and at an age when even men are relieved from active duty, fighting all across the Balkan warfront.

Unlike other women who joined the army, she did not change her identity and name, and was able to fight as a woman till the end of the war.

[1][2][3][4][5][6] The role of women in World War I was reflected in the monodrama „Čelične ratnice - Žene dobrovoljci u Prvom svetskom ratu” ("Steel Warriors - Women's Volunteers in the First World War"), which was held in December 2014 at the Historical Museum of Serbia, in the accompanying program of the exhibition "Serbia 2014".

This monodrama transmits the testimonies of women who, as warriors, volunteer nurses or humanitarian workers, took part in World War I.
