Anna V. (Anna Vostrovský) Čapek

Born Anna Vostrovský, she became known as Anna V. Čapek after marrying writer and historian Thomas Čapek. Library and reference records identify her as a Czech American author and journalist, and as an editor and collaborator on several works connected with Czech and Czechoslovak culture.

She is best remembered for co-authoring Bohemian (Čech) Bibliography with Thomas Čapek, a finding list of English-language writing about Bohemia and the Czech people. She also assisted with An Anthology of Czechoslovak Poetry, showing a strong interest in making Czech literary and historical material accessible to readers in English.

Her surviving published work suggests a life closely tied to immigrant intellectual and cultural life in the United States. Even when the record is brief, it shows someone who helped preserve and share Czech identity, literature, and public memory for a wider audience.
