description: The main theme of this book is the framing of a national canon of Romanian literature, showing how the lives of women protagonists and their story-telling have been tied to the emerging authority of the nation. The women's actions and innermost thoughts in these stories become the expression of the nation's consciousness, offering a completely different, nonofficial, extraecclesiastical and extrapolitical aspect of Romanian culture.
