Draginja Ljočić Milošević’s 161st Birthday
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today marks the 161st birthday of Draginja Ljočić Milošević. Milošević was one of Serbia’s first ever female doctors and the first woman accepted into the University of Zurich in Switzerland.
Doodler Jennifer Hom wanted to highlight the tools of Draginja’s trade. In this early sketch, we see Milošević’s hand clasping a small leather bag, inspired by the stara tora lekarska, one typical of the era and region.
With refinements to the Google logo, the angle and shape of the bag, and some coloring, Jennifer put the finishing touches on the Doodle you see today. Happy Birthday, Draginja Ljočić Milošević!
