Abstract: The gender representation of women in academic positions within Romanian universities, as well as the broader academic context, has not been thoroughly analyzed or debated. Addressing this "lack of research interest" this paper aims to critically examine the scientific and academic trajectories of Romanian women academics, and the academic environment through the lens of legislation, answering to the following research questions: How have Romanian women been represented in legislation? What impact have legislative provisions had on their academic and research career paths and progression? The methodology primarily involves a critical analysis of the main legislative acts from 1948, when the Communist Party came to power, until 2020. This period of analysis encompasses a rich and intriguing series of political, economic, legislative, cultural, and social changes, divided into three distinct periods:1948-1989 – the Communist era, 1989-2007 – the post-Communist era, ending with Romania's accession to the European Union in 2007, and 2007-2020 – the second post-Communist era, highlighting the impact of EU membership on legislation and the academic environment.
