Ženské listy () is one of the early women's magazines published in Prague between 1873 and 1926. It provided a synthesis of feminism and nationalism.
History and profile Ženské listy was established by Eliška Krásnohorská in 1873 and was an organ of the Women's Manufacturing Society. The magazine was published by the Society on a monthly basis.
Eliška Krásnohorská was in charge of the magazine until 1912. Karolina Světlá was among the editors of Ženské listy. Jindřiška Flajšhansová replaced Eliška Krásnohorská as editor-in-chief of the magazine.
The magazine acted as a platform for Czech women to express their views. It supported women's emancipation, but it approached this issue from a nationalistic perspective. Throughout its existence Ženské listy did not become close to any political party. The magazine folded in 1926 due to poor financial conditions.
