Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

Margit Révész Reisz (1885–1956): The Special Educational Sanatorium and Forest School for Children

In 1917, on a late August day, a large group of parents and children filled the carriages at the terminus of tram 81 at Várfok Street. They were comfortably seated to travel to the Zugliget terminus of the Budapest Road and Railway Company. They were heading to the Szani, the Special Educational Sanatorium and Forest School for Children, run by Margit Révész. There, under the Fairy Rock (Tündér-szikla), at the end of Hermit's Way (Remete út), a villa and a six-acre park awaited these “children and juveniles who are nervous, underdeveloped, in need of recreation or otherwise difficult to educate at home.” The tram's passengers were on their way to the first school sanatorium in Hungary to provide education in a natural environment, where the director of the institute, Margit Révész, was waiting for them.

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.
