This engaging and insightful book is the first historical study in
English portraying the lives and fates of Slovak women. The seven
life stories, ranging from the late 19th century to the present
day, expose the often cruel political history of Slovakia through
the eyes of prominent women whose acts and deeds on behalf of their
fellow citizens remain unforgotten in the Slovak collective mind.
The four chapters and three oral history interviews offer a
captivating insight into how the situation of Slovak women in
society has changed during a most eventful period of history. This
book will be complemented by a second volume on Czech women whose
lives have been of the same singular importance for the Czech lands
as their Slovak counterparts were for their country. The two
volumes are separate entities in their own right, but together
provide the reader with a comprehensive picture of women's lives in
the Czech lands and Slovakia, stressing the distinct political
circumstances Czech and Slovak women have faced in recent history.
