1.  Introduction

This report is trying to summarize the research connected to gender and well being in wide sense as well as to present the structure of different institutions and organs, hosting, stimulating and doing the research work. The report is covering not only the home researches but also the known works about Hungarian conditions made and/or published in abroad. This must be an important point of our knowledge – especially before 1990. The bibliography is trying to put the weight in the case of the presented materials on the works published on important foreign languages (English, French, and German). Hungarian language publications are included only in special case: because of their importance and the missing foreign language version. (Titles are translated.) Unfortunately in the case of institutional homepages, the researcher must be calculated with language difficulties. They often have no English homepeges or if such a version exists, its content is nearly alwavs simplified compare with the living Hungarian one.

We did not write a list of experts because the reader easily can pick up the most important names from the bibliography and 80 percentages of them – who is still active – can be found on the institutional homepages between the staff. (Probably some of the historians are not included there – if you do not find somebody please feel free to ask me about their contact possibilities.)
