You never hear about the woman who served in the Royal Romanian military. Here I am posting several photos of military woman who had both support and combat roles in the military. They served during WW1, between the Wars, and WW2. What was their role, status and acceptance in the military :?:
WW1 Second Lieutenant, 19th Artillery Regiment, dated 1916 |

Probably the best known Romanian lady officer of WWI is Slt. Ecaterina Teodoroiu (born in 1894) who volunteered for combat duty in 1916 and who fell heroically on 22 August 1917 leading her platoon during the battle at Mărăşeşti.

The activity of a group of female Medevac pilots of the 'Escadrila Alba' (White Squadron) during W.W. 2 is well known and well documented, too.

That must have been a very bold, non-conformist, gesture in the 1920s, namely to get photographed as a woman with a cigarette in your mouth. |
