synopsis
The Czech Republic has not had a female head of state since the reign of Maria Theresa, and women are generally scarce in politics. Society still perceives them differently, especially in public and political life. How does this affect the passing of laws, and why are women needed? In this episode, we will see the stories of two women who decided to promote women's rights in real politics. During the First Republic, Milada Horáková unsuccessfully attempted to change the law on the equal relationship between men and women in marriage, while Johanna Nejedlová's activities helped to pass a new definition of rape. What difficulties do women encounter in active politics?
