The Condition of Women in the Context of Agricultural Collectivization. Case study: The District of Brad, Hunedoara Region

Summary/Abstract: The collectivization of agriculture assumed the change of peasant family status by imposing state control over its economic gaps, the couple becoming a workforce to the authorities. The condition of the woman is changing from a leader of the house having individual intra- community relations into a collectivist into a community whose first lines were to satisfy the interests of the state. In collectivist work it is retained as one big request, through time and difficulty, with a reward under the expected level. The testimonies are revealing the complexity of women's condition in the context of collectivization, reflecting her as mother, wife, a member of the community and as an interlocutor for the authorities – here, especially as opposing. The image of the woman is also apparent in the predominantly female, and these testimonies indicate not only an understanding of the events, but also a high degree of sensitivity in their living. In the archive documents, woman is found sporadically and only as the protagonist in a relationship with the authorities – to support or opposition to collectivization.
