1837 ARRANGER_MARIAGE
Of Czech German origin. She spent her childhood in the Bohemian countryside near the estate in which her father worked. She was married formally at seventeen to an Austrian customs official - clerk Josef Němec, fifteen years her senior and quickly bore him four children. Her husband’s work carried her to the border regions of Bohemia and Slovakia. Because of his Czech nationalism he suffered dismissals and also his wife Božena Němcová was for some years followed by Austrian police. For some time she lived without her husband in Prague, than he returned jobless and in the last years the family was poor and Němcová with her writing was the only supporter of the family. At the end Němcová, mentally and emotionally exhausted, finally decided to leave her husband. It was too late and she died in 1862.
Living by her pen with 4 children. The most productive time of Božena Němcová were the fifties (19. Century), when the conditions in Czech culture were very restricted. The Austrian government tried to carry out an inner reorganisation and restoration of the multinational Austrian empire. That was also the time of neoabsolutism in the Habsburg monarchy, post-revolutionary period, when the slightest expressions of non-loyalty towards the regime were immediately suppressed and the state repressive machinery persecuted undesirables. Also Božena Němcová was controlled by the police.
