Summary/Abstract: During the inter war period, we notice a greater feminine representation on the Romanian education system compared the previous period. We are witnessing an institutional feminization of the preschool and primary educational system. There are more teachers in the working class than in the upper/managerial class. Even though the primary school was mandatory and free starting with the 19th century, illiteracy recorded a high percentage, especially for the rural girls. The teachers’ mission was to improve the cultural level in the villages, especially through education. Equal opportunities for the girls was nonexistent especially during the secondary and university education at that time. The changes in the political-judicial status of the Romanian women during the interwar period is happening through the feminist movement. But still, the Romanian educational system during the inter war period was maintaining the gender difference.
