• Ment to bring on the foreground the image of the Romanian ladies who took part in achieving the Great Union – the draught enhances their efforts in sustaining the ideal of a Nation. A large number of events are reflected such as bravery on the battle field – like Ecaterina Teodoroiu’s or that of the girl-hero Maria Zaharia, up to activities put in place by women from every layer of society – from nuns to socialites who got involved in humanitarian activities as doctors or nurses.
Forseen results
• By releasing this work, the Foundation’s goal, aimed through form and matter, its to underline and enhance less known aspects linked to the national effort – made by women for the Great Union. The encyclopedic approach gathers biographical aspects of those brave heroins who fought for their country presented in a different light. Unpublished documents were brought to a new life, documents belonging to the libraries’s special collections, national archive, convents and private archive collections belonging to the heirs of these remarkable women.
