In exile in Canada, a former resident of Czechoslovakia, alongside her husband, the novelist Josef Skvorecky, engaged in literary contributions that challenged the oppressive Soviet-backed Communist regime.
The couple published numerous books that had been prohibited in their home country, providing a voice to censored narratives and promoting freedom of expression.
Their work not only preserved the literary culture of Czechoslovakia but also highlighted the struggles faced under totalitarian rule, showcasing the resilience of artists in the face of oppression.
