Abstract
The Romanian fiction film industry has rarely produced scripts written by women. The Romanian Fiction Film Dictionary (2004) credits only 34 women screenwriters in productions between 1911 and 2004, out of 430 screenwriters. Marioara Voiculescu is the only female credited with screenplays produced before Communism and there are very few credits after the fall of the regime. Most of these women wrote within the constraints of a totalitarian state and, of the 34, almost half wrote only one screenplay, many having other professional occupations, sometimes outside the film industry.
