Milica Janković
Milica Janković (Pozarevac, 23 November 1881 - Niska Banja, 27 June 1939) was a Serbian writer of prose and verse.
Milica Janković is also known under her pseudonym Leposava Mihajlovic. She graduated from high school in Veliko Gradiste and art school of the University of Blegrade in 1906. From 1906, she went on to have a teaching career that lasted for more than three decades. She never married.
Her chief work is Ispovesti ("Confessions"), a collection of modernist short stories.[1] According to a critic, Jankovic's Ispovesti stories may be compared also with the best of Jovan Ducic's travel letters and the most perfect essays of Bogdan Popovic, Pavle Popovic, Jovan Skerlic, and Slobodan Jovanovic. "Characterized by a clear, lively, flexible style, Ispovesti is undoubtedly the most original Serbian book of 1913. So much love, tenderness and warm understanding of suffering humanity is to be found only in one other place: The Bible."[2]
