*Summary:*

Elza Kučera (1883–1972) holds the distinction of achieving four significant
“firsts” in Croatia: she was the first Croatian-born woman to receive a PhD
in philosophy, the first Croatian experimental psychologist, the first
Croatian woman employed as a public servant, and the first Croatian woman
librarian. Kučera earned her doctorate in philosophy from the University of
Zurich in 1909. Nonetheless, her primary scholarly interest lay in
psychology. Consequently, the majority of her scientific contributions
occupy a space at the intersection of philosophy and psychology. Beyond
these disciplines, Kučera also pursued a career as a librarian,
contributing to the field of library science through her published works.
She was bilingual in Croatian and German, and was fluent in Hungarian and
French.

This presentation is organized into three parts. In the first part, Luka
Boršić and Ivana Skuhala Karasman will provide an overview of Kučera's life
and career. In the second part, Luka Boršić will explore Kučera's
contributions as a philosopher and librarian, while Ivana Skuhala Karasman
will, in the final section, discuss her work as a psychologist and her
advocacy for women's rights.
