Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

“My Ultimate Form of Life Will Be Bound to the Free Nature”

We know of three life events, experiential learning and knowledge enriching periods that predate the opening of the Szani, Révész’s activities, and her life there: first, her childhood and adolescence in the Révész-Reisz family; second, her work as an assistant in the Ranschburg Laboratory of Special Educational Psychology as a medical student; and third, her study trip abroad, where she also learned about Charlottenburg in Berlin, the first “open-air school” and “forest school” (Freiluftschule), established in 1904.

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.
