WLASTA.
Bohemian name, probably meaning "from the Fatherland,"
from vlast (fatherland,
native country). (A
Grammar of the Bohemian or Čech Language, Morfill, 1899).
Also spelled Vlasta.
For Wlasta,
"the imperious," whose praises have been sung by modern poets,
it may be claimed, that she was the first "emancipated" woman
mentioned in history. At the death of Libuscha, the maidens of
Bohemia contended for the love of the widowed Przemysl, and Wlasta, who
had been the favorite attendant of the deceased, boldly demanded his
hand and heart. The "provident" duke wisely rejected her
offer, whereupon Wlasta, "the imperious," assembled the
daughters of the country under her banner, and commenced the terrible
war of the Bohemian maidens... (The Daguerreotype, v.3, 1849).
