Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the historical situation of the first female students in the evolution of legal education in Transylvania (Romania). While legislation of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy granted admission to female students to the medical faculties and to the faculties of sciences beginning with 1895, they were excluded from legal education. The situation changed after WWI and the integration of Transylvania to Greater Romania: women were granted admission to both the Academy of Law in Oradea/Nagyvárad, as well as to the Faculty of Law of the University in Cluj/Kolozsvár. This paper covers a period of approximately 40 years (1919-1959) and uses university yearbooks and archival sources to identify the first female students, while also attempting to retrace their later career.
