Irena Káňová (around 1920)

Irena Káňová (also Kaňová ; born on 5. April 1893 in Banská Štiavnica , died on 8.

In 1919 she was one of the first women in the Revolutionary National Assembly .

Life

Káňová was Slovak and came from Banska Štiavnica. She worked as a worker in a tobacco factory in 1914 and joined the Social Democratic Party three years later.

After the men of October 28, 1918 proclaimed the independent state of Czechoslovakia, the National Revolutionary Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic ( Czech Revoluční národní shromáždění republic Českoslovens) emerged from the Czechoslovak National Committee (Národní výbor československý, NVČ) on November 14, 1918 . Káňová joined this at the 95th meeting on December 5, 1919. Her term of office ended on April 15, 1920. In the elections to the National Assembly, which took place three days later, Káňová received no mandate. She was the youngest member and the only representative of Slovakia. In the assembly Kaňová represented the resigned Alice Masaryková , who later acted as the country's “First Lady” after the death of her mother.

In 1921 Káňová moved to the newly founded Communist Party, a split from the ČSSD. She organized strikes , was active in proletarian journalism and was involved in the women's movement . During the Second World War , she was in the resistance with her husband.

After the war, Káňová was still active in the Communist Party and worked in the Slovak Women's Union.
