The promotion, the accompanying exhibition organized in the same space, as well as the website dedicated to famous women of Novi Sad at the web address of TONS are some of the activities by which the publisher, the Tourism Organization of the City of Novi Sad, celebrates International Women’s Day.

The first edition of the book Women’s Names of Novi Sad – A Guide for Lovers of Alternative Tours (2014) in Serbian, English and Russian, published by the Tourism Organization of the City of Novi Sad, met the interest of both domestic and foreign audiences who were able to learn something about the historical and cultural development of Novi Sad, through 27 stories about women who contributed to the social development of the city by acting in the field of education, art, philanthropy, trade, publishing, politics, science and the fight for women’s rights in the period from the end of the 18th to the first decades of the 20th century.
The second amended edition of the book Women’s Names of Novi Sad – A Guide for Lovers of Alternative Tours, which is once again signed by Gordana Stojaković and Svetlana Kresoja, brings new data about the life and work of some of the famous women from Novi Sad, along with three new biographies (Katarina Popović Midžina, Vida Vulko Varađanin and Olga Krno), as well as data on the residences of famous women about whom there are new or different data. The electronic edition of the book is available on the TONS website at the following link: https://novisad.travel/zenska-imena-novog-sada/, while the printed version for those interested will be available in Matica Srpska, and a certain circulation of the edition will be part of the gifts for guests from the country and abroad or delegations visiting Novi Sad.
Our goal is to continue to enrich the tourism offer of the Novi Sad area started by Gordana Stojaković’s research project within the Mileva Marić Einstein Women’s Studies and Research, through stories about women’s history and tradition, which are important not only from the aspect of tourism, but also education and culture. That is why by publishing Women’s Names of Novi Sad – A Guide for Lovers of Alternative Tours, we want to show our dedication to the support of these new topics.
