Abstract
In the 1850’s the Austrian authorities repressed some Czech national activists, which in many cases lead to voluntary or forced exile. This was also the case for Božena Němcová’s husband Josef. In 1851 due to his awareness of changes in the political climate and forthcoming persecutions he decided to apply for relocation to Hungary. The paper focuses on Němcová’s correspondence with her husband as well as her travel journal (The Memories of the Hungarian Journey – 1854) and considers the following question. Was her constant refusal to go into exile an important moment for creating her female self?
