In 1926, Madzsar wrote the book New Ways of Women’s Body Culture, which proved extremely popular. The new 1929 edition was expanded with movement art chapters. Madzsar also plays an important role in Hungarian dance history: she created several public movement art performances with the school’s students and other participants, mostly from a working-class background.
