Despite facing societal prejudice against women in intellectual roles, she translated works by notable authors like Karel Čapek and Alois Jirásek into German and other languages, introducing them to audiences in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Her career began amid personal hardship after her husband was driven out of Bohemia by crowds fueled by prejudice, prompting her to follow him to Vienna.
