# The Forgotten Women Series: The life of renowned traveler, patriot and feminist Vojta Náprastek was privately run by two women. Until his forty-seventh year, his dominant mother Anna Fingerhutová, on whom he was also financially dependent, and after her death, his wife Josepha Náprstková. Without her organizational abilities, the charismatic but scatterbrained visionary would never have founded his museum, which still operates today.
