Life path of female students of Prague universities: Zdeňka Marie Baborová and her successors (case study)
Abstract
In the Habsburg Monarchy, the study of women at universities was allowed in 1897 for the faculties of arts and in 1900 for the faculties of medicine. Prague was ready for this, and one can directly say that Prague initiated this breakthrough.
Since 1890, the Minerva girls' gymnasium existed here, the first of its kind in Central Europe, which systematically prepared girls for university studies.
As early as 1895, some of Minerva's female students attended university lectures as extraordinary students, so the girl's first doctoral graduation took place in Prague as early as 1901.
Zdeňka Marie Baborová received a doctorate in biology.
What was her next fate? What sources do we have for this? And what were the fates of some of her followers? The proposed post should address this.
