Biography

She was born in Chřešťovice (today part of Albrechtice nad Vltavou, Czech Republic) to the military veteran Josef Husa and Anna Veronika Husová-Šamanová. Her brother Josef Ján Husa (1863–1930) became a teacher in Benátky nad Jizerou.

From 1873 to 1875, Husová attended the Municipal Girls' School in Písek, where she earned the highest grades. Then she went to the Czech Institute for the Education of Teachers in Prague until 1879[1] where she achieved excellent results and even received a scholarship in her last year. She passed the maturity test on 29 June 1879 and received a maturity certificate for general schools.[2]

She began her teaching career in Protivín. At her next school, in Vodňany, she became friends with writer František Herites. In 1889, she returned to the bourgeois girls' school in Písek, where she worked for 37 years before retiring in 1926.[3] She was appointed as "the definitive teacher for the grammar-history department" on 15 December 1894. During her school years, she received several commendations from educational authorities, for example in 1912, she was lauded by the district school board in Písek "... for her zealous and in every way successful work in the school service..." On 26 November 1920, her "crowning achievement" was being appointed the permanent headmistress of the civil school for girls in Písek.[4]

She was an accomplished traveler and collected the folk clothing of the Prácheňsko region – mainly women's holiday or ceremonial clothing. Together with her friend Emilie Fryšová, she managed a clothing collection. Husová also collected South Bohemian fairy tales, nursery rhymes, legends and songs, and she authored many books for children and young people, featuring social themes, patriotism, home, honesty and hard work, as well as positive human feelings. Her work was characterized by natural motifs and educational themes.

She was an active member of the local associations: "Světlá" Ladies' and Girls' Association of Písek and the Central Union of Pisek Female Teachers, union in Písek. Close friends were: Emílie Fryšová (1840–1920), František Herites (1851–1929), Eliška Krásnohorská (1847–1926), Tereza Sedláčková-Barcalová (1883), and Vilma Seidlová-Sokolová (1859–1941).
