As a playwright her comedies, “Sběratelka Starožitností” (The Collector of Curiosities), “Cop” (The Braid), “Neznámá Pevnina” (Unknown Territory) and “Přítěž” (Ballast), won favor and are frequently produced. Her dramas, “V Jařmu” (In the Yoke), “Holčička" (The Little Girl) and “V Bludiští” (In a Maze), are less successful as dramas than as feminist propaganda.
Mrs. Víková-Kunětická was honored by her countrymen by election to the Bohemian Parliament some ten years ago. The Austrian government with its customary indifference to all progressive ideas, under one pretext or another refused her permission to take her seat in the assembly. Her election at that time was the first example in central Europe of similar recognition for a woman. In the present congress of the Czechoslovak Republic there are twelve women representatives.
