Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II


Tenant Experiences

The Némethys—Anthony, Eszter and their three-year-old son Andrew—moved into the Dover Sun House on Christmas 1948. The family had fled from Hungary during the Soviet occupation after World War II. Andrew was born in Austria, on their way to the United States, where they settled in Dover in search of a new life. Anthony Némethy (born Andor Németi) held a degree in agricultural engineering from Győr and had served as a government official back in Hungary. In America, he got a job at the Newton College of the Sacred Heart not far from Dover.

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.
