Alma Mater la feminine. Doamnele universității românești din Cluj
The Female Segment of Alma Mater. The Ladies of the Romanian University of Cluj in the Interwar Period

Summary/Abstract: In 1919, the old dream of the Transylvanian Romanians was finally fulfilled: the Romanian University was opened in Cluj. This could not have been achieved without the full and exemplary involvement of the universities of Iași and Bucharest, particularly in terms of human resources. The Romanian University of Cluj set out with a teaching and research staff that had been carefully and rigorously selected. Its ranks included leading personalities of Romanian science at the time, either from the two universities mentioned above, or chosen from the Transylvanian scholarly environment. In this article, we would like to follow and illustrate the presence of women in this young academic community, in the town on the Someș. We also wish to focus on the search for answers to the following questions: What was those ladies' share in the teaching staff? Who were they? Which were the faculties they worked at and what subjects did they teach? To what extent did they make a career during the interwar period?
