Anna Náprstková

Anna Náprstková (24 April 1788, Prague – 20 October 1873, Prague) was a Czech businesswoman and philanthropist. She made a name for herself as a brewer in Sturm in the Old Town of Prague with her second husband Antonín Fingerhut, whom she married in 1823. The couple bought the Renaissance house U Halánků House, which they converted into a distillery and wine shop. It became a successful business.

She has been described as a "determined and life-hardened woman who had an extraordinary business spirit but also an open heart and hands for those who needed it."
