Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education

Preface

This book presents the life and work of some outstanding Hungarian women scholars, scientists and educators, all born in the period before 1945. As such, it dovetails with the general mission of the Presidential Committee on Women in Science of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences to increase the visibility of Hungarian women scientists, past and present. Indeed, one of the aims of this Committee is to present and disseminate through publications and scientific events information about the successful academic careers of Hungarian women researchers. Such publications include the present book, edited by two members of the Committee, and another one soon to be published in Hungarian, all made possible by generous grants from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
