Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II


The Life of Margit Varró

Margit Varró was born in 1881 in Barcs, Somogy county (located in present Hungary on the southwest border) and died in 1978 in Chicago. Her life was essentially divided between two culturally different worlds: Hungary (1881–1938) and the United States (1938–1978). In the first half of her life, she lived in Hungary and established her international reputation as a distinguished piano pedagogue through her epoch-making book Der lebendige Klavierunterricht. In the 1930s, she was invited to several European countries, including Germany, Switzerland and France. In October 1938, she travelled to the United States for a few months to hold lectures, but she eventually decided to extend her stay for political reasons, and she ultimately remained there until her death.

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.
