Summary/Abstract: The concept of the model socialist woman in Romania underwent slight changes during the 45 years of communist rule. My analysis is not concerned with gender politics generally speaking, but with the influence (or even better: combination) of internationalism/nationalism on the ideal contemporary woman. The study below does not focus on the differences between ideology and reality or the impact of the communist system on daily life, but points to the propagandistic method of spreading the image of the perfect woman in the most prominent woman's journal of the time.
