Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

Mrs. József Madzsar née Alice Jászi (1877–1935): The Pioneer of Women’s Physical Education

Mrs. József Madzsar née Alice Jászi (1877–1935, hereinafter referred to by her maiden name) was the initiator of women’s physical exercise in Hungary, a pioneer of physiotherapy, as well as a trend-setting movement artist and choreographer in her own right. Her career and branching activities offer a glimpse into the evolution of several fields, including that of the cultural history of modernism in Hungary from a female perspective.

Művelődéstörténet

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.
