Sažetak
On the basis of the Society’s Memorial (Spomenica društva) published in 1935 and the contemporary press, the Society’s Rule Book and some minor original artifacts from the Museum of Brodsko Posavlje or private legacy, the author of this paper gives an overview of the activities of the Croatian Philanthropist Ladies’ Society (Hrvatsko dobrotvorno gospojinsko društvo) in Brod na Savi (now Slavonski Brod) from 1895 to 1941. Besides the presentation of its entire sphere of activities, focus is placed on its humanitarian action and on its impact on the social and cultural life of Brod and its citizens. On the basis of preserved historical records, we may stress that during its active work „sine ira et studio“ the Society very successfully implemented the programs and missions laid down in its Rules. It also successfully and proudly persisted in stressing the attribute Croatian in its title from its very inception all through its termination.
