What people say

"Highly recommend for anyone interested in historical women and feminists in Prague. We took the Badass Women of Olšany Cemetery over the weekend and quickly realized that Averil is a wealth of knowledge about little-known and mega-important Czech history." — Ellie Farrier

"A superb visit to the Olšany Cemetery, following in the footsteps of nine badass women from Czech history! Thanks, Averil, for these discoveries. I really liked Anna Náprstková and Hana Podolská, whom I didn't know. Keep up the good work!" — Jehanne Feildel

"Excellent! We went on the cemetery tour for my friend's birthday, and it was fascinating. My favorite story was about the first female postal worker in the Czech Republic. :)) Averil is a great tour guide. Also, the cemetery tour is perfect for very hot days! It's pleasantly cool." — Melody Rose
