The politician and journalist Luisa Landová-Štychová was a lifelong feminist who, as a member of the Parliament of the First Czechoslovak Republic (in the years 1918–1923 and 1925–1929), entered the public consciousness mainly through her fight for the legalization of abortion. In addition to working for women’s equality, she was involved in many other areas, including atheist associations, the anti-Austrian resistance during the First World War, organizing workers’ aid, the anti-fascist movement, scouting, and the popularization of astronomy. Politically, she always stood on the left. She gradually moved from a social-democratic to an anarchist and national-social orientation, until finally aligning herself with communismin 1925. After the war she moved even further left, to Stalinist positions. The reviewer evaluates Stanislav Holubec’s biography entitled "Nešťastná revolucionářka: Každodennost a myšlenkový svět Luisy Landové-Štychové (1885–1969)" [An Unfortunate Revolutionary: The Mental World and Everyday Life of Luisa Landová Štychová,1885–1969] in the context of the gradually awakening interest on the part of Czech women historians (less so male historians) in the history of the women’s emancipation movement and the gender aspects of modern political movements. The book under review is one of the few biographies of Czech or Czechoslovak women political figures. Based on an extensive archival legacy, the author has managed to vividly present the personality of Luisa Landová-Štychová in the span of her diverse interests, activities and personal ties, and in close connection with her era and social environment, making her biography a valuable historical and sociological probe into the cultural and political history of Czech society in the twentieth century, especially into the social milieu of the First Republic leftwing intelligentsia and Prague’s left-wing civil servants.
