Women who belong to the Elite in Hungary- The features of elite Identity in Women’s Elite Groups

Open access
The study represents the women’s situation who belong to the cultural, economic and political elite in Hungary, according to the differences between women and men elite groups on the one hand and on the other hand, according to elite type differences of women’s elite groups. In the analysis, we seek to the answer for the question of “can the Hungarian women elite group fulfil its elite profession and how powerful consciousness of elite has according to its self-classification?”. All these significantly correlated to the acceptance or rejection of social values that the women consider to be important (solidarity, security, equality). Particularly important connection appears along on the value axles of conservative-liberal and right-left wings compared to the men included in the elite and within the woman’s group. Overall, we can say that the Hungarian women’s elite cannot meet the classical role of elite or fulfil the criteria of the elite profession in accordance with the notion of elite.
