As one of the founders of the Croatian Writers' Association, Košutić's work was labeled as anti-governmental; after refusing to sign the capital punishment verdict at the show trial[3] directed against Cardinal Stepinac in 1946, she was fired from the Croatian Publishing Institute.
[4] Košutić was a lyricist, developing her fundamental idea of the aspiration of the human soul to God.
