Les revendications politiques des Roumaines dans les années '20: le travail féministe de la Princesse Alexandrina Cantacuzino au niveau national et balkanique

Abstract

In the 20's, the Romanian feminism fights for the acknowledgment of the full political rights for women. In this fight, princess Alexandrina Cantacuzino's figure is remarked, who acts both on the national and international level, to make the Romanian women's demands known to the Balkan feminists. Alexandrina Cantacuzino creates associations on a national and Balkan level, as to promote the Romanian women's interests: The National Group of the Romanian Women and The Little Feminine Agreement which are only two examples presented in this study. The analysis of The National Group of the Romanian Women allows the understanding of Alexandrina Cantacuzino's authoritative and nationalist logic and at the same time, it allows the integration of the Romanian feminism in the women's international movement which has its upsurge in this epoch.
