HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH ON TRANSLATING MYTH AND REALITY IN WOMEN IMAGERY ACROSS DISCIPLINES

Summary/Abstract: The editors of this joint research study, Roxana Ciolăneanu (University of Lisbon, Portugal) and Roxana-Elisabeta Marinescu (Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania) have embraced a multidisciplinary approach to what may appear as an otherwise “old” topic, namely gender roles, narratives and women imagery in culture. The relevance of the project is stated in the Preface (xvii-xxiv), when the chronology of the topic is mentioned: from Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1792 A Vindication of the Rights of Women to recent international policies, such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, one of the sustainable goals mentioned being the elimination or reduction of women exclusion and marginalization, the challenges seem to have remained the same since the 18th century.
