Summary/Abstract: The issue of women’s rights and their role in the development of society is (still) a topic that generates analysis and introspection. The various tones and registers of the approach point out the women concerns during the interwar period (and not only) for exceeding the limits unjustly granted by history. By education and culture, feminine reunions have succeeded in persuading the political sphere to restore equal rights (civil and political). Thus, in the interwar period, the Romanian society felt a revival in most spheres of activity, women acquiring, due to rights, their proper independence. The study aims to reveal the activity of Romanian feminism regarding its political purpose- the idea of unity in rights in the national conscience of the Romanians.
