Evoluţia imaginii femeii, desăvârşită de ea însăşi
The Evolution of Woman’s Image Perfected by Herself

Summary/Abstract: The theme I approached in the present paper comprises a brief evocation of significant moments in history, through which women proved their capacity to be equal with men in all fields of social activity. I limited the grounds of this research to two countries: France and Romania, as there is an important connection between them, in the sense of the impact French culture had on the development of Romanian spirituality. From an immense canvas of instances, I chose a few figures who have accomplished, through their will and aspirations, the sum of wishes of the ones who did not have the possibility to express them in a concrete manner. Their victory was not accidental; it was predictable because the male prejudices they were fighting had no rational grounds. At times, it was precisely the absurdity of a support which was more difficult to prove, and it can be stated that women managed to do that not only through words but also through their deeds. The period I analysed was until WWII which brought about major changes in the world. From that moment on, women began to obtain most of the rights requested throughout time and feminism acquired new facets. At the same time, the mass media through which women exposed their problems became more complex and they can represent the object of another type of analysis.
