Challenging the Literary Scene: Late Nineteenth-Century Romanian Women Writers

ABSTRACT. The tradition of the feminine writing in the Romanian Principalities was born in circumstances determined by the social change that took place during the century, which exerted a lot of influence on a woman’s daily life. Influenced by the women’s emancipation trend, which had a large resonance in France, England and America, they fought for the ideals of the feminist revolution: the promotion of women’s rights, liberty, equality, the assertion of the woman’s right to decide on herself, her body, her feelings, her destiny. pp. 124–134

Keywords: feminine writing, cultural impact on women’s changing social status
