Dr. Marie Zdeňka Baborová-Čiháková (17 January 1877, Prague - 29 September 1937, Čelákovice) was the first female Czech botanist and zoologist.[1][2][3][4]

Baborová was born in Prague in a school teacher's family and learned many languages at a young age. She studied at the Minerva secondary school before studying natural scieces at the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague. She studied zoology and wrote her dissertation on fat bodies in the arthrpods and became the first woman doctorate in 1901. An older brother Josef Florián Babor was also a physician and zoologist at the University. Josef had inspired her own studies but she worked under Frantisek Vejdovsky (1849-1939). She contributed entries on infusoria and protoza for Otto’s Encyclopaedia. She married Stanislav Ćihak in 1903. Her studies reduced in 1906 after the birth of her daughter.[5]
