Anna Bayerová
Anna Bayerová (4 November 1853 – 24 January 1924) was the second Czech female medical doctor, after Bohuslava Kecková. Both of them were prevented from practicing as doctors in their own country so Kecková became a Czech midwife, whereas Bayerová had a medical practise in Berne. Biography Bayerová was born in Vojtěchov (now part of Mšeno) near Mělník on 4 November 1853, the youngest child of Josef and Marie Bayer. She attended school in Mělník until 1868, when she moved to Prague, where she met the authors Eliška Krásnohorská and Sofie Podlipská, and took gymnasial exams, despite not being allowed to attend the gymnasium. In 1875, Bayerová moved to Zurich and started attending classes at the University of Zurich. However, she suffered financial problems and returned home in 1878. Eventually, after receiving money to continue her studies, Anna Bayerová graduated from the University of Bern and thus became the second female Czech physician in 1881. However ...

19th-century Czech Physicians
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the large S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Mělník District
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Anna Honzáková
Anna Honzáková Anna Honzáková (16 November 1875 in Kopidlno – 13 October 1940 in Prague) was the first female doctor to graduate from the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague, which she did on 17 March 1902. She was also the third Czech woman to earn a doctor's certificate, although the first two, Bohuslava Kecková (graduated 1880 from the University of Zurich) and Anna Bayerová (graduated 1881 from the University of Bern), had done so at Swiss universities rather than Czech ones, and had had to practice abroad as their doctorates were not recognized by their homeland. Honzáková was at first allowed only to go to lectures, not examinations, at medical school, but this changed after five years, when she was allowed to take exams for all she had been studying. After graduation she worked for Charles Maydl, the founder of Czech surgery and anaesthesiology, as an unpaid trainee, but had to leave when he died, and could not get a medical post in the civil hospital.
