This study presents 8 educated women who played significant part in the activity in the first technical academy in the Czech lands. All of them, through their efforts, purposefulness and diligence, have succeeded in developing their disciplines and so they showed the world that not only men but even women are able to succeed in the field of science and technology. Masaryk Academy of Labour supported financially and administratively even work and scientific internships of The First Republic young Czech engineers in large American industrial plants.
