Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

Amália Mozsolics (1910–1997)

Amália Mozsolics was born in Vasvár and died in Szombathely—two towns in Vas County to which she remained faithful to the end of her life. She attended elementary and secondary schools in Hungary, France and Austria, then enrolled in Vienna University where she graduated under the renowned professor Menghin Oswald. She earned her second degree in the humanities, also from Vienna university, in 1935. As the first step in her career, she was awarded an internship at the Hungarian National Museum, then worked at the predecessor of Savaria Museum for a year. From 1941 to 1944, she was member of the staff at the National Museum of Transylvania before returning to the Hungarian National Museum in 1945 as curator of the prehistoric collection. Later, she was appointed to the helm of the Department of Prehistory, which she led until her retirement in 1973. During her years at the Museum, she taught memorable courses on Bronze-age materials to generations of archaeologists.

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.
