Malleier brought in her study under the title forms of male hysteria. The war neurosis in the First World War, the so-called war neurosis for the first time in a medical and gender-historical context. In it, she traces the history of the debates about male hysteria and deals with the treatment of war neuroses by Viennese psychiatry and psychoanalysis. The study, which is based on her thesis from 1993, appeared in abridged form in 1996 in the volume on the history of medicine, co-edited by Malleier, entitled Body - Gender - History .

In her dissertation, which was published as a book in 2003 under the title Jüdische Frauen in Wien 1816-1938 , she devoted herself to the self-organization of Jewish women in associations and the working and living conditions of poor Jewish women and girls in Vienna up to the “ Anschluss ”. To this end, Malleier sifted through sources on Jewish associations, memorial literature, and contemporary periodicals that had previously been ignored and conducted research in the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP) and the Leo Baeck Institute in Jerusalem. The comprehensive social-historical study fills a long-neglected research gap in the historiography of Jews in Central Europe, in which studies on Jewish women are still rare. At the same time, Malleier worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Conflict Research in Vienna and carried out a study on Jewish women in the bourgeois women's movement in Austria until 1938. Malleier was breaking new ground, as the share of Jewish feminists in the interdenominational women's movement had hardly been recorded in social-historical research until then. It shows that in Vienna, for example, Jewish and non-Jewish women worked together in various associations as early as the early 19th century.

Elisabeth Malleier worked at the Institute for History at the University of Vienna until April 2013, where she carried out several research projects, including the history of the origins of Austrian children's homes and the child protection movement, on Jewish hospitals in Austria-Hungary - a study carried out by the Robert Bosch Foundation was promoted - and through the movement of "men's rights activists" in Vienna during the interwar period.

With her book Das Ottakringer Settlement 1901-2003 , Malleier presented a study of a neighborhood project based on the model of the English settlement movement in the Viennese working-class district of Ottakring , which existed for more than 100 years with interruptions during National Socialism. Malleier shows, according to the reviewer Gerhard Baader , "how - despite all the Jewish employees - the settlement as a women's project was able to unite women of the most diverse denominations and political views, even if not all of the earlier Settlement employees remained immune to the ideas of National Socialism." With this study, the author made an important contribution to the history of a self-help movement supported by women.
