Ludmila Pechmanová-Klosová (born 13 July 1885) was a Czechoslovakian politician. In 1920 she was one of the first group of women elected to the Chamber of Deputies, remaining in parliament until 1935.
Biography[edit]
Pechmanová-Klosová was born in the Vinohrady district of Prague in 1885. After finishing her education, she worked as a post office clerk in the city. She became involved in trade unions and was appointed vice-president of the Association of Postal Officials in 1908.[1] The following year she joined the Czech National Social Party.[1]
Following the independence of Czechoslovakia at the end of World War I, Pechmanová-Klosová was a candidate for her party (now renamed the Czechoslovak Socialist Party) for the Chamber of Deputies in the 1920 parliamentary elections, and was one of sixteen women elected to parliament.[1] She was subsequently re-elected in 1925 and 1929, serving until 1935 when poor health prevented her from running for re-election.[1]
