‘For example, for contemporary Czech feminism, Hussitism provides a point of reference in the form of women warriors, whom the crusaders both marvelled at and feared. Thanks to this reference, contemporary feminism could better anchor itself in Czech society. Feminism, through the reference to the Hussite warrior women, can evolve to be above all a struggle of self-conscious, unprivileged women for a total transformation of a system in which both women and men are exploited. The Hussite women warriors are an example of a possible reference point that can give feminism the direction, energy, and colour that is lacking in liberal feminism, which creates distrust in non-privileged women and men. It would strengthen socialist feminism, which has a universal content and seeks to change the global system of exploitation, and which also refers to reference points in the Czech past.’ (read whole article by Michael Hauser on A2larm.cz https://a2larm.cz/2020/07/bitva-na-vitkove-jako-inspirace-pro-soucasnou-levici/)
