Biography
Pechmanová-Klosová was born in the Vinohrady district of Prague in 1885. After finishing her education, she worked as a post office clerk in the city. She became involved in trade unions and was appointed vice-president of the Association of Postal Officials in 1908. The following year she joined the Czech National Social Party.

Following the independence of Czechoslovakia at the end of World War I, Pechmanová-Klosová was a candidate for her party (now renamed the Czechoslovak Socialist Party) for the Chamber of Deputies in the 1920 parliamentary elections, and was one of sixteen women elected to parliament. She was subsequently re-elected in 1925 and 1929, serving until 1935 when poor health prevented her from running for re-election.
