Identităţi feminine în perioada interbelică. Modele educative şi strategii matrimoniale feminine
Identities during the Interwar Period. Educational Patterns and Matrimonial Strategies

Summary/Abstract: This study, having as a basis the interviews with two women that were bom in the auturm of the same year - 1918 - presents an image of the woman during the interwar period. The testimonies of Maria Anderwald and Silvia Ivan offer two perspectives for us to refer to the values of that time's family and society and identify certain values and norms existing in a bourgeoisie society; these values have been perpetuated and transmitted from generation to generation. The two interviewed women came from different urban areas - a little town in Salaj county, called Jibou (the case of Silvia Ivan) and a cosmopolite city, called Timişoara (the case of Maria Anderwald) - but both their destinies had been touched by the socio-political events that had taken place during the interrwar period. Thls study insists on the educational patterns applied at that time to girls, also offering interesting information about the matrimonial strategies that often decisively intervened, especially on women.
