Abstract

As Hermina Tomić (1843-1915) was wife of Croatian writer Joseph Eugen Tomić, her entire life and after life remained in the shadow of the celebrated writer. She was highly talented in acting, influential poet Ivan Trnski supported her, but she abandoned theatre after her marriage to Tomić. However, their home became an important center of the public and cultural life of Zagreb. Permanent guests of highly estimated Hermina’s salon were Franjo Marković, August Šenoa, Ivan Dežman, Tadija Smičiklas and other. She successfully performed her role of housewife and the »salon queen« with the wholehearted support of Zora Trnski. At the same time she maintained correspondence with Jagoda Truhelka and Marija Jambrišak and was interested in women’s issues. Her literary career began relatively late: in 1883 she published one act play Kita cvieća, in 1888 play Zabluda matere and in 1890 comedy Ljubav i sjaj.
