Based on theoretical sources, it can be assumed that Czech families of the 19th century were usually characterised by a dominant position of men. A man was regarded as "the head of the family" not only within daily life, but also during official acts; a man decided about the future of his children, wife and other family members, but still the family showed him a great level of respect and reverence. Contrary to that, the position of women in the family was subordinate; women had no rights towards men, merely duties. The same was applied to the position of children and seniors; the position of seniors was also subordinate to a dominant role of men. Conclusions resulting from the analysis of findings drawn from...
