She managed to live an independent life of the female intellectual of that time: first taught at the girls’ school in Čáslav, and from 1874 onwards in Prague. In her spare time she traveled in different parts of the world which was very brave and unusual in that patriarchal time. Published several prose works in the journal Ženské Listy (The Women´s Journal), edited by Eliška Krásnohorská. See Heczková. ust Feb. 2011. Her newspaper travel features on Slovenia, Dalmatia, Italy, and the Austrian Alps are well known. She also combined these with other genres, so that her travelogues, which contained historical and ethnological components, range between documents, diaries, and fiction. During her lifetime, her best-known work was a biographic study of one of the best Czech actresses, Otýlie Sklenářová-Malá (1844–1914 ). Řeháková was also a very productive writer, who published twenty-nine works including short prose, novels, memoirs, children’s stories, and several translations. She worked with a number of magazines, especially women’s magazines. She was also out of the main literary movement as Czech “Moderna”, which was raising in its peak in the middle of 90s. Her style was Czech realism. She was a fervent member of the Czech feminist movement, which was already well developed at that time (the first women’s newspaper, Lada, was published as early as 1861). Řeháková worked to educate and raise women’s awareness, and was a member of the “The American club of Ladies” and “Minerva Women’s Studies Society”. Its main newsletter Ženské listy (Women’s Letters) was edited by her writer friend the poet Eliška Krásnohorská (born Alžběta Pechová, 1847-1926), who also encouraged her to write. author of travel writing
