Description
This paper focuses on several Slavic women writers whose literary careers
took a new turn in one way or another because of their encounters
with the city of Prague: the Polish writer Honorata Zapová née
Wiśniowska (1825–1856), who moved to Prague in 1845 and showed
great concern about building bridges between Polish and Czech literatures;
the Polish writers Eliza Orzeszkowa (1841–1910) and Maria Konopnicka (1842–1910), who came to Prague several times during
their lifetimes, developed a strong interest in Czech culture and established
close contacts with several outstanding Czech women (as
testified by their correspondence); and the Slovenian writers Zofka
Kveder (1879–1926), who lived in Prague from 1900–1906 and began
very quickly to write articles and novels in Czech that were favorably
received, especially by Czech feminist women writers and critics.
