And the first Slovak female artist was born

At the end of the 19th century, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy is the world of noblemen, businessmen, intellectuals and the working class. But most notably, it is the world of men. In this world, women have very little to no chance to follow their ambitions, get a proper education and become something other than a housewife. Nevertheless, some of them, although with the strong support by their male family members, managed to at least partially escape the roles dictated by the society. The first Slovak female artist Želmíra Duchajová-Švehlová is one of them.
