Unsung Heroines: Female War Veterans and Wives of Veterans
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: November 10, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
On the eve of Veterans Day, the Václav Havel Library will offer an unconventional perspective on military service and returning from missions – through the eyes of women. What is it like to be a soldier in uniform and a mother at the same time? What is it like to live with someone who has returned from war a changed person? And how do women feel when they see their sons and daughters leaving for a mission? Female veterans, wives and mothers of Czech soldiers will speak about their experiences, strength and silent sacrifices.
The discussion will be moderated by Miroslava Pašková, chairwoman of the association VLČÍ MÁKY, which has been supporting modern war veterans and their families for more than 10 years.
The event follows on from the long-running Army Woman project, which gives a voice to women, in and out of uniform, connected with the army.
