History and profile

Dolgozó nő was established in Cluj in 1945. The magazine came out monthly and was printed in Hungarian.[1] It was the sister publication of Femeia, a Romanian women's magazine.[2]

Dolgozó nő targeted Hungarian women living in Romania who were the members of the Communist women’s mass organization, the Union of Antifascist Women of Romania.[3] It was modelled on Soviet women's magazines and featured articles on women's rights, their condition in the modern society, health, beauty, housework, literature and fashion topics.[4] It also encouraged the participation of women in politics and covered materials on literature and history.[4]

Dolgozó nő folded in 1989 when the Communist regime fell as a result of the Romanian Revolution.[4]
