Milena Preindlsberger-Mrazović

Milena Preindlsberger-Mrazović (28 December 1863 – 20 January 1927) was a journalist, writer, pianist and composer in Austria-Hungary. Mrazović is credited for introducing Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she lived for 40 years, to the German-speaking public. She was the first journalist in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the author of the first classical compositions on its soil but remains best known for the travel books she wrote during her long journeys. While horseback riding through remote mountain villages, Mrazović recorded Bosnian oral tradition and collected traditional costumes, building a valuable collection.
