Divna Veković
Divna Veković (1886–1944) is a woman from Montenegro who became the first female medical doctor in Montenegro. Apart from being a physician during World War I, Veković was also a humanitarian and a literary translator. As a translator, she was the first to translate The Mountain Wreath (also known as The Mountain of Wreath) from the Serbian language into the French language; The Mountain Wreath is a well-known poem and play in Montenegrin literature written by the Prince-Bishop and poet Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. Veković also translated other poems such as that of the Serbian poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj.
She continued her work as a medical doctor until her death before the end of World War II.[1]
