Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II


Lilly Hajdú (1891–1960), Edit Gyömrői (1896–1987), Vilma Kovács (1879–1940), Alice Bálint (1898–1941) and Lillián Rotter (1896–1981): Women in the Budapest School of Psychoanalysis

The new science of psychoanalysis and women had a mutually open and fruitful interaction in early-twentieth-century Europe. On the one hand, the not yet consolidated theory and profession needed female followers and contributors; on the other, women perceived psychoanalysis as an exciting and, at the same time, accessible field where modern intellectual roles could be realized, while it related to traditional female values, too. In Hungary, the proportion of women analysts was the highest in Europe in the late 1930s, reaching 48% in 1937.

In this sequel to the first volume of Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education published in 2022, editors Réka M. Cristian and Anna Kérchy present the portraits of twenty-two prominent Hungarian women scholars, scientists and educators who made pioneering contributions to Hungary’s scientific achievement over the centuries. Some of the women introduced in the sixteen chapters come from traditional disciplines such as pharmacy, medicine, historiography, engineering, mathematics, archeology, psychology, and philosophy, while others furthered on fields not necessarily viewed, especially at the time, as science or scholarship proper, but which are nonetheless deeply intellectual, such as physical, special needs, reform, or music education, feminism, and historic preservation. The book offers a bird’s eye view summary of the accomplishments reached and challenges faced by these exceptional Hungarian female academics and intellectuals.
