Prior to the outbreak of World War I, the Freethinking and the Feminist movements were somewhat connected (but not overlapped) due to the new models that they promoted in society (in this situation, the improvement of the women's condition). The Romanian Freethinking Association (founded in 1909) and The Association for Positive Education in Bucharest (founded in 1911) (as the "voices" of Romanian freethinkers) criticized vehemently the Feminist movement in Romania through its journal (Rațiunea) and also through its most prominent leaders (for instance, Constantin Thiron). The reason was the ethnonationalism of feminism movement in Romania before 1914, its connections with the Romanian Orthodox Church strongly manifested by the establishment of National Orthodox Society of Romanian Women (1910). Starting from this point, this article aims to analyze the relations between these two movements in Romania, at the beginning of the twentieth century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
