Early life

Kapidžić-Hadžić was born in the Bosnian city of Banja Luka on 6 December 1932, although some sources give her date of birth as 6 November 1931. As a little girl she had leg surgery and wore a cast, rendering her bedridden. Six-year-old Nasiha began writing for the first time during her recovery.[1]

She attended elementary and high school in Banja Luka and moved to Belgrade to study at the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Philosophy, where she earned her academic degree.

She later worked as a professor and radio producer for children shows. Her literature was dedicated to children. She even published some textbooks for elementary schools.

Kapidžić-Hadžić had a daughter named Aida.[2]
