Nation, Socialism and Women's Rights. The Political Thought of Milada Horáková in Transnational Perspective

Annotation in Czech

Milada Horáková represents a key political figure in Czech contemporary history. While her legacy is often reduced to her trial and execution in 1950, this project aims to reconstruct her political thought in its full complexity. It will explore her contribution to interwar and postwar Czechoslovak political discourse, focusing on her conceptions of democracy, nation and women’s rights. Furthermore, the project will examine her intellectual role in antifascist resistance and the way in which she contributed to the building of the so-called people’s democracy after 1945. One of the main goals of the proposed project is therefore to present Horáková not only as a martyr of the communist political trial, but as a thinker whose political and social view shaped the inter-war and post-war political discourse on the national community, contributed to the form of Czechoslovak social thought and significantly influenced the Czechoslovak feminist discourse. Moving beyond her victimhood, this project seeks to reassess Horáková’s intellectual legacy in both national and transnational contexts.
