Summary/Abstract: This article aims to discuss the case study of a Northern-Irish woman, Mabel ‘Maria’ Farley Nandriș, who became a real promoter of Romanian culture. Her intellectual passion for this land started in her youth, when she first came to Romania, in the 1930s, grew through her marriage to the Romanian university professor Grigore Nandriș, her baptism in the Orthodox Church and the Romanian-Northern-Irish heritage left to their son, Professor Jonh Nandriș. Her dual legacy is revealed by her publications, even if away from Romania because of historical circumstances, and she will be seen, in this article, as an informal ambassador of Romania on the British Isles.
