Abstract

This paper studies women’s transnational migration in and out of Wallachia, the principality that in 1859 united with Moldavia to form Romania. The methodological approach to the theme is based on a combination of historical demography and micro-history. Since several years, Romanian historiography has developed its own areas in social history, going beyond previous paradigms that only focused on the elites or class struggle. Migration studies, however, have not kept up the pace with the progress made in studies on, for example, family life or marriage, since the fall of communism. My paper aims at answering some basic exploratory questions: to what extent did women travel across the Wallachian border? For what reasons, and with whom? Finally, I will attempt to trace the social background of these female migrants.
