WOMEN AND SOCIAL SECURITY IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA AFTER THE FIRST WORLD WAR

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the issue of social security in Czechoslovakia after the First World War with regard to the position of women and its changes in the social system. Despite the extensive efforts (especially by women's associations) to achieve full equality for women in all areas, the traditional position of women in society and in the family, where the man remained the main breadwinner, remained in place in the interwar period, although some legislation already allowed for the possibility of, for example, higher earnings on the part of women. The authors based their text on the legislation of the time. They also used archival materials and, to a lesser extent, records of the proceedings of the National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic. The main method used in the creation of the text was therefore the direct and progressive method.
