Ženské listy (Women's Pages) is one of the early women's magazines published in Prague between 1873 and 1926. It provided a synthesis of feminism and nationalism.[1]
Ženské listy was established by Eliška Krásnohorská in 1873[2] and was an organ of the Women's Manufacturing Society. The magazine was published by the Society on a monthly basis.[3]
Eliška Krásnohorská was in charge of the magazine until 1912.[2] Karolina Světlá was among the editors of Ženské listy.[4] Jindřiška Flajšhansová replaced Eliška Krásnohorská as editor-in-chief of the magazine.[5]
The magazine acted as a platform for Czech women to express their views.[6] It supported women's emancipation, but it approached this issue from a nationalistic perspective.[1] Throughout its existence Ženské listy did not become close to any political party.[3] The magazine folded in 1926 due to poor financial conditions.[1] [5]
