Life

edit

Zdenka Hásková was born on 28 May 1878.[1] Hásková's novel Mládí (1909) looked at the love lives of educated young women, and their sensation of youth passing. Her poems, collected in Cestou (1920), paid attention to everyday life with a confessional immediacy.[2]

In 1928 she married the writer and right-wing politician Viktor Dyk,[2] who died in 1931. She died on 7 November 1946.[1]
