She was born in Serbian city Užice. She was educated in Užice, Belgrade and in Germany. She was married to a German, Gezeman, and she had a daughter from this marriage. She divorced Gezeman because of his infidelity. In autobiography My life (published posthumously in 2000) she described her life very uncompromisingly.
She was feminist, intellectual, leftist, teacher, translator, philosopher, and professional journalist. She was the first Serbian woman working as a professional journalist in Serbia's oldest newspaper Politika. She was a professional dancer, teacher of dancing (she led the school for rhythmic gymnastics for 25 years) and she wrote a lot about rhythmic gymnastics, dance and about the female body. She belonged to the Belgrade intellectual circles in the beginning of the XX century. She established in 1910, in Belgrade, with Zora Prica, school for recitation, foreign languages and aesthetic gymnastic. Her work contributed to the modernization of patriarchal society in Serbia in that time. Her ideas were very modern for that time and some of them are current in our time too.
