Luciana Jinga

historian

Luciana Jinga is a prominent historian and expert at the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile, known for her insightful analysis of women's roles during the communist regime in Romania. In her work, Jinga highlights the paradox of officially promoted gender equality, which often failed to translate into real improvements in the lives of rural women, who faced systemic inequalities and were burdened by dual expectations of work both in the home and in the fields. Her research sheds light on the social dynamics and cultural narratives that shaped women's experiences in a historically significant yet oppressive political context.
