Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

Edit Gyömrői (1896–1987)

Gyömrői (née Edit Gelb) was born into an assimilated, middle-class Budapest Jewish family. She became interested in psychoanalysis through her uncle, István Hollós, an important early psychoanalyst and psychiatrist of the Budapest School. At the age of eighteen, Gyömrői married the chemical engineer Ervin Rényi, had a son and divorced her husband four years later. After the 1919 fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic (a short-lived communist state), she emigrated to Vienna. In 1923, she moved to Berlin with her second husband, journalist László Tölgy (Glück), where she started working as a costume designer at the Neumann Produktion film studio. After a psychotherapy and training analysis with Otto Fenichel, Gyömrői opened her own practice. Her closest circle of colleagues included Marxist analysts, such as Fenichel, Annie and Wilhelm Reich, Edith Jacobson, and Siegfried Bernfeld. She left Germany for Prague in 1933 after Adolf Hitler came to power and in 1934, she returned to Budapest, where she held seminars for mothers and educators and worked as an analyst (for example, with the poet, Attila József).

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.
