Dragišić was born in Sarajevo in 1921, the daughter of World War I lieutenant colonel Velimir Dragišić. She grew up in Peja.[1] In World War II, she served with the Yugoslav resistance in the First Macedonian-Kosovo National Liberation Brigade.[2] She participated in fighting at Klenovec, Kičevo, and Bukovac. Her right hand was seriously injured in June 1944.[1] She was chosen by her platoon to be their political delegate.[2] Dragišić was killed in battle on 22 September 1944.[1]
Dragišić was awarded the Order of the People's Hero in 1953 for her participation in the war,[1] and she was one of several Yugoslav partisans that was memorialized in folk songs over the following decades.[3] All kindergartens in Peja were named in Dragišić's honor until 1999.[1]
