abstract
The First Czech Female Academics and Motherhood The author investigates the situation of female university graduates in the first half of the 20th century and their chances of fitting together an academic career and motherhood. She introduces two female academics, of whom Albína Dratvová voluntarily resigned on having children and assumed a masculine style. Jiřina Popelová, on the other hand, managed to harmonise quite naturally the role of a university professor with the role of a wife and mother. Both of these women contributed to a change in the society’s view on the role of women and their professional advancement.
