The marriage ended abruptly with her escape from the house, first to Sremska Mitrovica and then to Zagreb, due to her husband's and mother in law's abuse, It was in Zagreb that she began her career

as a journalist, which was a highly unusual career for a woman in those days, and because of that, she was frowned upon, humiliated and prejudiced against her entire life.
She was forced to write anonymously, under pseudonyms that hid her gender, and hide herself at work so nobody would notice there was a woman writing for and later running a newspaper.
This didn't stop her from being politically involved, fighting against the Germanization and Magyarization of Croatia, and fighting for the rights of women, which caused her considerable problems in life, both professionally and privately.
Urged by Bishop Strossmayer, Zagorka began writing historic novels, usually set inth,th andth century Croatia, She instantly became popular amongst the people, who endearingly called her "The Fairy of Zagorje" upon publishing sitelink Grička vještica and "Queen of Croatians" upon publishing sitelink Gordana: Kraljica Hrvata.
The critics and her colleagues, however, constantly put her down, ridiculed her work, slurred her as a person and as a writer, and deliberately ignored her in literary magazines and almanacs.
Still, she kept on writing and published her works as a part of her newspaper so they would be affordable to the general public, adapted her own and the works of August Šenoa for theater, ran two magazines "Ženski list"and "Hrvatica"addressed to the female public, and with her young female colleagues formed the Society of Croatian Female Writers.
Upon the formation of Independent State of Croatia, the magazine "Hrvatica" was forcibly canceled and her entire estate is taken from her, leaving her without means to support herself.
Desperate, Zagorka attempted suicide, but luckily survived, Living in Zagreb, she saw the end of WWII thanks to the financial help and care of her loyal public, Despite her age and weak health, she continued fighting for the rights of women, even though it earned her the ridicule and animosity of her male colleagues, who repeatedly called her "a madwoman" and "mannish old hag", until the day of her death.
None of her novels have been translated into English, but two are available in German: sitelink Grička vještica and sitelink Malleus maleficarum,of her novels, published in Croatian, are found in the Library of Congress, The exact number of the novels she has written is unknown, but it is presumed that she wrote around, some of which are lost forever, sitelink.
