Abstract:
This paper sets out to retrieve and discuss a set of war poems by Romanian women poets, shaped around a pacifist strain that begins as a reaction to World War I, consolidates during World War II, and intensifies against the background of the communist propaganda in the second half of the fifth decade of the last century. The paper reviews war poems by women poets such as Carmen Sylva, Matilda Cugler-Poni, Maria Cunțan, Elena Văcărescu, Anișoara Odeanu, Magda Isanos, Maria Banuș, Veronica Porumbacu, and Nina Cassian.
