The Evolution of Women’s Status in 15th-century Moldova

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the mutations of the women’s status within the family and society in Moldova during the 15th century, a long journey that would end with Stephen the Great’s reign (1457-1504). It was during this time that the medieval social structures were crystallized in Moldova. This study examines the evolution of women’s status at this time in the area, as well as the stepwise creation of a society where the principle of gender equality gained greater currency at its uppermost levels, under the circumstances of the governing masculinity principle in Transylvania, Wallachia and other European countries
