Anna V. (Anna Vostrovský) Čapek

Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in November 1866, she was a Czech American publicist who later became known as Anna Čapková-Vostrovská. She married the Czech American writer and publicist Tomáš Čapek in 1894, and sources describe her as a collaborator in documenting the history and life of Czechs in the United States.

She is remembered especially as a co-author of writing about Czech Americans, and as part of a family deeply involved in Czech immigrant cultural life. The available sources connect her work with preserving community history rather than with a large standalone literary career.

She died in December 1956. Although the surviving biographical record appears brief, it suggests a writer whose contribution mattered through documentation, partnership, and care for the memory of a community.
