Summary/Abstract: The female character is a reference in the perception of the 1930s Romanian pshychology. Romanian novelist Camil Petrescu created a “gallery” of female characters who represent the view on femininity in a period when this topic was not often approached. The lack in the biographical data on Camil Petrescu can be completed yby his characters who are typologies of women the authors had met in his life. This article aims to demonstrate that Petrescu’s female characters were inspired by the author’s experience and that many of the scenes in his novels were actually inspired by real events. This way, even without having the certitude of his everyday actions, Camil Petrescu can be “recomposed” from other people’s experience and from the point of view of the women who marked his existence.
