Summary/Abstract: Each historical period had set a profile on their women. The Middle Ages, probably more than other times, insisted on women’s definition. Their profile, whose basis was put by the clergy, it’s that of a being determined first of all by its sexuality and nothing else. Starting from their gender, the medieval women could only be - throughout their entire existence - someone’s daughter, someone’s wife and mother and of course someone’s widow. The Romanian medieval society does not make an exception to these considerations on what women are concerned, thus we intend, in what follows, to reveal the basics imagines that women had during the Romanian medieval times.
