Abstract: We investigated whether there are differences in women’s progress in Romanian accounting academia between the communist and post-communist periods, and compared to the international context; and whether the legal framework in Romania influenced women’s accounting careers in academia. For the communist period, we found that for our topic training for the exercise of the profession, the evolution of women’s academics, although it did not exceed that of men, outperformed that of women in other contexts, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries. Then, our findings were similar to the international context for teaching and leadership in academia. For the post-communist period, we observed Romanian academics’ similitude in teaching and bachelor studies and superiority in scientific publications and doctoral studies compared to their international counterparts. Also, the complexity of provisions assuring general or women’s rights, as well as the pace of their issuance aligned with women’s experiences in accounting academia.
