Ofensiva feminităţii în cultura europeană a secolului al XX-lea

Abstract

Women have always been objects of pleasure in a men’s world. Obliged for millenia to shut up and
listen, in the last century they succeeded to overcome their limitations. They became heads of state, prime-ministers, journalists, scientists, writers, artists, sportswomen. The offensive of femininity demanded of them a
double struggle: with their own weaknesses and with the mistrust of a misoginous world. Strong personalities
emerged from the shadows of anonimity and wrote everlasting pages of history and world culture. They were
victorious because they wanted to avenge the thousands of women condemned to obedience and because behind any strong man there is always a strong woman.
