Summary/Abstract: This study follows the life and work of Delfa Ivanić, a humanitarian worker and the founder of association „Kolo of Serbian sisters“. Thanks to her good manners acquired within her biological family and even more her stepfamily, she grew up to be a great patriot, a selfless humanitarian worker who didn’t spare her physical nor her mental strenght to help her people. Delfa Ivanić belongs to a circle of Serbian heroines, women who marked the beginning of the 20th century and who, through personal sacrifices and inexhaustible energy, managed to diminish the horrors of Balkan Wars and World War I, by saving a significant number of soldiers and civilians. Unfortunately, her work has been „forgotten“ and marginalized on account of monarchism, simpathies for the Yugoslovenian Army in Fatherland and brave advocacy for the amnesty of general Dragoljub Mihailović.
