Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II


Pedagogical oeuvre

Scrutinizing Antonina De Gerando’s books, studies, and practical work in the field, it is immediately apparent that her chief interest lies in the problematic interpretation of learning and the cultural ideal, first and foremost in respect of girls’ education. She considers a diversified education fundamental for the development of society. In her works, she repeatedly reproaches the schools of the era for not promoting the versatility of individual character. She believes that education should serve the single purpose of harmonious character development, self-knowledge and sense of autonomy, nurturing students on their way to honing their skills and demanding the utmost from themselves.

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.
