Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Communist ideology and propaganda targeted women with their emancipation campaign. Women were portrayed as the embodiment of progress, as the primary force in the modernization of the country. Their daily life was meant to illustrate the achievements of women under the communist regime. However, the propaganda rarely fitted the reality. My paper aims to show the real life of women during communism as perceived by the women after the fall of this regime in Romania. It will focus on several aspects of women’s daily life, such as education, work, family and leisure, in order to underline the gains and the losses (in terms of rights and achievements) experienced by women. The paper analyses 20 interviews I have conducted between 2015 and 2018 in Bucharest and in several other towns of Romania.
