Růžena Jesenská

[3] Jesenská traveled extensively through the Baltic countries, France, Italy, and Russia and published under the pseudonyms, Eva Z Hluboké and Martin Věžník.

"[4] Critic Jan Opolsky describes her writing as "against the current," and Max Brod critiqued "her chauvinistic Czech attitudes and philistine outlook.

[3] Mladi (1926) Jesenská accounts for "moral confrontations and animosities that affected advancement in her career" in this autobiographical collection of poems.

This volume inspired the title of Kathleen Hayes' anthology, A world apart and other stories: Czech women writers at the Fin de siècle.

Founded prior to World War I, these periodicals covering "the woman question" moved discussions of women and gender into the cultural sphere.
