Some of the most famous Bosnian women:

Staka Skenderova (1831 – 26 May 1891) was a Bosnian Serb teacher, social worker, writer and folklorist. 

She established Sarajevo's first school for girls on 19 October 1858. With her friend, Miss Irby, advocated for women's education. She was also the first woman teacher in Bosnia and Hercegovina and the first published woman author in modern Bosnia. 

She is the author of "Chronicles of Bosnia". 

In a deeply traditional patriarchal society, Staka Skenderova has made daily changes, and advocated for equality.

Ševala Zildžić-Iblizović was born in 1903. At the time it was not a practice for girls to be educated, especially Muslims.
Despite this practice, her family wanted to educate her and in 1919 they tried to enroll her in the Men's High School.

Due to numerous environmental pressures, she left for Zagreb where she enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine in 1925. During her studies, she marries Muhammad Iblizovic.

She graduated in 1931 and became the first Muslim women doctor and she and her husband were the first Muslim married couple of intellectuals in the Balkans.

In Croatia, she starts working as a college demonstrator, but when she is offered a promotion as an assistant, she decides to return to her hometown. She waited two years for a job and finally gets it at the City Hospital at the Infectious Disease Department.

Ševala was mostly concerned with the treatment of women and children, the control of infectious diseases. Because of all the difficulties she experienced, she persevered in the fight against patriarchal practices and in the emancipation of women.

Vera Šnajder (Popović, 1904–1976) was a Bosnian mathematician, the first Bosnian to publish a mathematical research paper and the first female dean in Yugoslavia.

She began her university studies at the University of Belgrade in 1922, and graduated in 1928. She took a position as a schoolteacher at a girls' gymnasium in Sarajevo. 

From 1929 to 1932 she traveled to Paris for advanced work in mathematics. It was during this time that she published her paper, the first mathematics paper written by a Bosnian.

After returning from Paris, Šnajder worked as a schoolteacher again. When the University of Sarajevo was founded in 1949, Šnajder became a faculty member. There, she first served as dean in 1951.
