Education – One of the Assumption for Artistic Orientation of Women

Since the 1860s, under more relaxed political situation, various women organisations began to flourish, often promoting orientation to artistic education. Also a broad impact on Czech society had professional interest of women in traditional artistic production.

From the perspective of conflicting opinions on the women's education in the second half of the 19th century and on the background of struggles for its formal establishing this contribution follows the Masaryk's views on relevant issues from the time he became a deputy in the Imperial Diet in early 1890s. Building on the ideals of the Enlightenment and democratic principles, his competent arguments were in favour of democratization of education in humanities and law as well as of the school system as a whole, including women's education. His parliamentary speeches, articles, the contemporary press, laws and statues and relevant history literature are the main sources of information for this article.

Responses in Národní listy to the Demand for Women's Voting Rights in 1906-1908
Malínská, Jana
The focus of the essay is on Czech feminist struggles at the beginning of the 20th century. On this period women achieved substantial concessions in the area of education. They however, became aware that to achieve equality in other areas, they would have to achieve voting rights and the possibility for influencing politics. Their struggle for voting rights was reflected in daily press, particulary Národní listy. The author covers in her essay years 1906-1908, when women's activity was very important and began to be unexpectadly rewarding.
