FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF THE FEMALE ELITE IN OLTENIA (THE END OF THE 19th CENTURY, THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY)

Abstract

Social life and fashion have not been the woman’s only concerns at the end of the 19th and the late 20th century. Their contribution to modern society changes, by taking on new duties and liabilities will have a specific means of expression and for a better understanding of the activities they carried out it requires an overview, even a brief one over a few Oltenian women from the above-mentioned period. Seen only as a wife and mother, the woman makes her way into society being concerned with her own education, she takes part in financing arts and not only, and she engages in harnessing traditional clothing and crafts.
