Women's rights activism

In 1889, while teaching in Iași, Reuss Ianculescu attempted to create a suffrage association, but was unable to attract interest.Шаблон:Sfn She made a second attempt to found a feminist society in 1891 with encouragement from Marya Chéliga-Loevy, but again was thwarted. Finally, on 30 October 1894, the first women's organization in Romania was approved by the General Assembly, once Reuss Ianculescu had successfully recruited Cornelia Emilian to become president.Шаблон:Sfn Emilian was the wife of a prominent professor,Шаблон:Sfn as well as a writer and women's activist.Шаблон:Sfn The women founded the Women's League (Liga Femeilor Române) at IașiШаблон:Sfn and began publishing a journal called Buletinul Ligii Femeilor (Women's League Bulletin), which featured articles on international feminism and women's rights.Шаблон:Sfn The organization remained active for five years, folding at the turn of the century.Шаблон:Sfn When the Women's League folded, Reuss Ianculescu left Iași and moved to Bucharest.Шаблон:Sfn

Reuss Ianculescu turned to writing and published a string of novels over the next few years, including Voință (Volition, 1902),Шаблон:Sfn Spre dezrobire (Towards Emancipation, 1903), Pentru o Idee (For an ideal, 1904), and Menirea femeii (Woman’s Fate, 1906).Шаблон:Sfn Voinţă was nominated for a prize from the Romanian Academy. Spree was dedicated to her daughter who died as an infant.Шаблон:Sfn With her growing acclaim, after publishing Towards Emancipation, Reuss Ianculescu was spurred to give a series of lectures on women's rights at the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest.Шаблон:Sfn The themes included topics about the destiny and future of women given in 1906 and women in politics, presented in 1913.Шаблон:Sfn

Success of the lectures led Reuss Ianculescu to the establishmentШаблон:Sfn in 1910 of the Societatea pentru Drepturile Femeilor (Women’s Emancipation Society), which was renamed as the Liga Drepturilor şi Datoriilor Femeilor din România (LDDFR) (League for Romanian Women’s Rights and Duties)Шаблон:Sfn in 1913. The organization was the first women's association which was specifically aimed at enfranchisement and though founded in Bucharest, had branches throughout Moldavia and Wallachia.Шаблон:Sfn Dr. Nicolae Minovici and Reuss Ianculescu acted as co-presidents and Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi, Minister of Public Instruction served as honorary president.Шаблон:Sfn Incorporation of influential men into the leadership was a tactic employed by Reuss Ianculescu to gain the support of influential politicians and a manifestation of her belief that men and women had complementary skills which could be joined to achieve success.Шаблон:Sfn By 1912, she was editing a monthly journal for the organization called Droit des Femmes (Women's Rights)Шаблон:Sfn and in 1913, the LDDFR presented a demand to the Romanian Parliament for women's civil and political rights.Шаблон:Sfn

That same year, Reuss Ianculescu affiliated the LDDFR with the International Women's Suffrage Alliance.Шаблон:Sfn In 1914, she and a small group of activists, including Maria Gavrilescu, Elena Meissner and Adela Xenopol supported a petition for women’s suffrage to be incorporated into the Constitution of the Kingdom of Romania, which was under debate. Though she tried to work with the Cercul Feminin Socialist (Socialist Feminine Circle) to forward the cause, they rejected aligning with LDDFR because they felt that her organization excluded working class women and was focused too heavily on educated women. During the war she gave lectures, attended meetings and conferences and tried to forward the cause of women’s political involvement. She declined an invitation by Aletta Jacobs to attend the 1915 International Congress of Women, believing that the congress was forcing women to choose pacifism over nationalism, and she fully pledged her loyalty to Romania.

At the end of the war, when Transylvania and Romania were united in 1918, Reuss Ianculescu became vice president of Uniunea Femeior Române din România Mare (Union of Romanian Women from Greater Romania), which was headed by Maria Baiulescu. In 1921 the LDDFR joined in the umbrella association Consiliul Național al Femeilor Române (National Council of Romanian Women). Reuss Ianculescu served as vice president of the new organization, which became affiliated with the International Council of Women.Шаблон:Sfn Two years later, Reuss Ianculescu was appointed as "president for life" of LDDFR.Шаблон:Sfn Between 1926 and 1935, Reuss Ianculescu served as a board member of International Women's Suffrage Alliance.Шаблон:Sfn When the 1923 Constitution of Romania was drafted it did not offer women the right to vote, instead treating them as legal incompetents. Reuss Ianculescu continued pushing through the various organizations to secure suffrage and the women were partially successful, when in 1929, they won the right to participate in local elections. In 1938, they won the right to participate in general elections, though they would lose those rights the following year.Шаблон:Sfn

Reuss Ianculescu died on 29 December 1938 in her home in Igești, which at that time was part of Greater Romania.Шаблон:Sfn
