This book considers the contribution of women to the achievement of the Romanian national project, includingthe role of bourgeoisie and middle-class women, the position of women in rural areas, and love, sex, and eroticism in wartime. Alin Ciupala also presents portraits of feminine personalities, among them Queen Mary with her participation in the organization of campaign hospitals, her role in supplying the civil population with food and necessary goods, and her presence among the soldiers and in foreign propaganda in favor of Romanian causes. Another example is Ecaterina Teodoroiu, the only woman in Romania to served as an officer, who died on the battlefield leading soldiers under her command.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond women's contribution to the war, the book examines the effects of World War One on gender roles in Romania .

Yet after the war, the situation returned to \"normal,\" and women largely continued to be excluded from the public sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlin Ciupalã is Professor at the Faculty of History, University of Bucharest.
