The document discusses the social status and image of Romanian women between 1945-1989. It aims to outline the image of women in the communist period as builders of socialism, and to see how these attributions still influence perceptions today. During communism, women were expected to be great mothers while also being good socialist workers, without discrimination. They dominated certain jobs but on average earned less than men. Traditions and values still sometimes treat women unequally today, though there is a new model of the female politician in Romania.
