Abstract

British women are by far the most ubiquitous foreign women in recent Serbian history. Consequently, their story was often told, their travelogues that often cast a positive light on Serbs and Serbia translated and re-published, and their humanitarian and unique military contributions celebrated. As British women are remarkable for often displaying different or alternative views from their male counterparts this article examines these specificities by illuminating some common motivations and trajectories that characterised these women and their experiences with Serbs and Serbia. Moreover, it examines how much the two sides knew and understood each other and what this relationship brought forward. Its time span stretches from the first contact until the Second World War before the relationship patterns changed and became much more complex.
