eng Women´s readers in the 19th Century. Some explanatory notes "The advent of the phenomenon of female readership was determined bywomen‘s literacy, which was related to women‘s access to education. It is therefore only natural that the fi rst female readers were noble women, oft enmembers of religious orders. In the Renaissance period Bohemia, numerous noblewomen together with literate female burghers were interested in reading. In the Enlightenment period, thanks to the establishment of public schools, the number of literate women increased. However, the ability to read as such did not automatically lead to improving women‘s interest inreading. Back then, just as today, the family background was crucial in this matter. Th e female reader in the author‘s sense of the word did not appear until the 19th century when education was booming and stabilized and the book market was emerging. Th e fi rst half of the 19th century saw the emergence of literature for girls and women in the Czech milieu" Bohemia; 19th century; history of reading; women‘s history
