Abstract

the objective of this work is the study of the image of women in Romanian literature, especially during World War II, taking into account the scarcity of studies on the subject and the interest it presents. We find out how the literature of this period describes the relations between men and women, how presents and represents both genders and, especially, what is the role of the female characters, which functions exercised, how they are looked and described. through the female characters of Cella Serghi’s novel, Cartea Mironei (The Book of Mirona) we analyze the image of women in order to visualize their evolution in literature and, consequently, in the Romanian society of Second World War.
