Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

Preface

Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II follows the blueprint of the first volume published in 2022 by presenting the life and work of outstanding Hungarian women scholars, scientists and educators. Similar to Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education published a year ago, the present volume dovetails with the general mission of the Presidential Committee on Women in Science of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences to increase the visibility of Hungarian women scientists, past and present, by disseminating information about the successful academic careers of Hungarian women researchers through publications and scientific events. Accordingly, the publication of this volume was made possible also by generous grants from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

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.
