Differences of education and culture, of religious belief and moral stand, of political affiliation or sympathy, of family or group cohesion leave their indelible marks in these particular kind of literature, which finds itself at the border of historical documentation and subjective memoirs. My concerns are both analyzing the motivations and mechanisms that made women resistance possible, and identifying – when accessible – gender-specific themes or narrative strategies. Besides the four testimonies listed in the bibliography, of Lena Constante, Elisabeta Rizea and Lucretia Jurj, I have also included the account of Anita Nandris-Cudla on her years of deportation to Siberia, because of the thematic and narrative similarities.
Abstract: The present paper investigates some aspects that particularize women detention accounts of Romanian political prisons.
