Anđelija Spajić was born in 1865 in Šid (Serbia). She graduated from High School for Girls and from Teacher's School in Sombor. In the period from 1892 to 1898, she worked as a teacher in Požarevac. Later she worked in Šabac, teaching several subjects -- German, history, geography, etc.

During the First World War she worked as a nurse. She is one of the founder of the "Protect Orphans" initiative, for which she was later awarded the prestigious Order of Saint Sava. However, she refused this award, saying she deserved it much earlier by working as a school teacher.

Anđelija Spajić wrote poems, short stories, and children literature. She actively translated from French, German and Czech into Serbian. Her editorial work is also noteworthy.

In 1929, she published a book titled "Najstariji jezik Biblije: ili jedan od najstarijih kulturnih naroda" (The oldest language of the Bible: or one of the oldest spoken by cultured people)
