Krásnohorská wrote the libretti for four operas by Bedřich Smetana: The Kiss, The Secret, The Devil's Wall and Viola. She also wrote the libretto for Zdeněk Fibich's opera Blaník.[citation needed] In 1873, she founded the women's magazine Ženské listy, which she headed until handing it over to Jindřiška Flajšhansová in 1912.[2][3]: 75 

In 1890 Krásnohorská founded the Minerva School in Prague, the first gymnasium for girls in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its language of instruction was Czech.[4][1]
