Abstract: [eng] [cze]
Female students enrolled at the Faculty of Forestry in Prague only in the 1930s. After WW2, more women in Czechoslovakia started to study forestry engineering. The number of female forestry engineers increased ten times during the period in question in Czechoslovakia. Female graduates had problems to find suitable job until the 1980s. Women forestry engineers earned less than comparably educated men. Distance studies were practically unavailable to women until 1980s. The number of doctoral theses defended by women was extraordinarily low. Only 9 women were awarded academic degree (PhD) at the faculties of forestry in the Czech Lands between 1952 and 1989. Studentky na lesnické fakultě v Praze ve 30. letech.
