DRUMUL CăTRE AUTONOMIE TRECE PRIN CUNOAșTERE.

This paper it is a subjective perspective on the birth and the raise of the field of Gender Studies in Romania. It is subjective because the author is the initiator of the field and she has a parental/maternal attitude towards the topic. Once her intellectual maternity is related to the MA program at National School of Political and Administrative Studies in Bucharest, the text is offering a reflective image of the evolution and the results of the research in the last decades at NSPSPA, as well as its impact beyond the academic space.
