Ipostaze ale feminismului şi literatura feminină în spaţiul românesc
Images of Feminism and Feminine Writings in Romanian Literature

Summary/Abstract: For the Romanian society, feminism has been and still is a pejorative label that casts a shadow of doubt over the literature written by women. The attitude is deeply rooted in the preconceived ideas of Romanian society concerning notions such as feminine, femininity, and feminism. If one wants to refer to the beginnings of such debates one can not omit the exemplary list that Eugen Lovinescu proposed in the age between the two World Wars in which he attempted at describing the major traits of femininity. The reticent commencement of feminism in interwar Romania was abruptly changed by the outcome of history, yet it somehow manages to turn from a struggle against gender inequalities into a fight against totalitarian oppression and for an identity rediscovery.
