Summary/Abstract: A chronological approach to Transylvanian Romanian feminism can be a useful tool. The article proposes a quick and general overview of the data and events that brought to the forefront the Transylvanian women's. The documentary material illustrates the slow but steady progress of Romanian women, the real interest in the feminine condition modified at the end of the 19th century by legislation, economic, social and cultural factors (habits, traditions, lifestyle and behaviors). As landmarks we included female personalities, with their initiatives and achievements. Geographically, the chronology covers the entire Transylvanian space, and temporarily stops at the Great Union, when the specialists agreed that the „first feminist wave” is coming to an end.
