Summary/Abstract: The role of women within a society was often debated and questioned. Throughout time, women were referred to by means of their looks and their companionship towards men. Few people were able to accept a woman in a leading position, without regarding this with scepticism. Their role was mainly reduced to household and children and their psychological and psychic qualities were most of the times left aside. In the Romanian society this phenomenon is still present, although to a lesser extent.
