Julka Hlapec Đorđević was a philosopher, writer and a feminist. She wrote about the ambivalent situation of a woman of her era (the first half of 20th century).

Julka’s feminist views were influenced by European culture and thought. She belonged to the so called second-wave feminism, which was dealing with subjects that were not until then a priority amongst feminist, such as woman’s sexuality, birth control, family relations, erotics, feminine identity, pluralism of women’s nature etc. Those were also the questions that were occupying international feminist associations, whose work Julka followed. Her theoretical stand was based on individuality and rejection of “gender”/“biology” difference.

What is interesting is that her name and literary work is not portrayed in Serbian history of literature, although she also wrote novels and fiction, through which she had questioned existing social setup, tradition, values and relations.
