This paper introduces the reader to aspects of service of women in the Czechoslovak legion in Russia and conditions under which they could have received status of a legionnaire after their return from Russia. This legal status was established in the year 1920 and was meant as a reward for those who served in any of the Czechoslovak military units in exile (the Czechoslovak legions) during the war and fought for independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but was awarded almost exclusively to men. The paper analyses the legal reasons for this, which is later demonstrated on several specific cases.
