 Blouse Roumaine // Free Excerpt - Ileana Malancioiu // Selected & Introduced by Constantin Roman
Romania’s political dilemma between 1914 and 1916 in entering the war on the side of the Allies, caused her to sit on the fence as a neutral country for two good years.
Yet it is clear that confronted with persistent and even justified criticism of Romania’s treatment of minorities, Romania’s chief negotiator, Prime Minister Bratianu, soon found himself losing ground, as well as his temper, when faced with the patronizing attitudes of the Supreme Council.
Although Romania, like most European nations had little place for women in politics, Marie, had a firm if unofficial role as adviser to her husband, king Ferdinand until his death in 1927.
