Elena Niculiţă-Voronca şi fascinanta Vienă
Elena Niculiţă-Voronca and The Fascinating Vienna

Summary/Abstract: This study starts from the assumption that discussing about Elena Niculiță-Voronca implies, among many other things, the reconstruction of the ideas and things that define her personality, as well as the social, political, moral and even family context in which she lives. It is a fragment of a larger study of Elena Niculiță-Voronca and Zaharia Voronca, her husband, whose ideas and deeds and all sorts of contexts are analysed. The present pages analyse first of all some diary entries, dated 12 May 1904, published by Elena Niculiță-Voronca in the newspaper “Românul” on May 1, 1916, but also some opinions about her own experience as a scientist. The diary pages implicitly constitute an additional argument in favor of her militancy not only for the preservation of the identity of the Romanians in Bucovina (a constant theme with her), but especially for civilization and even feminism. At the same time, the study invokes Zaharia Voronca's presence in Vienna as a priest at the Orthodox chapel in the capital of the Empire, a fact often overlooked by scholars.
