This article investigates the phenomenon of the women’s “fading presence” on the political scene of postcommunist Romania from two research angles.

La (re)construction démocratique de l’espace politique roumain après la chute du régime communiste est marquée par une très faible présence des femmes dans les institutions politiques. Cet article interroge cet « évanouissement » des femmes, en le mettant en rapport à la fois avec les logiques de (re)configuration des élites politiques postcommunistes et avec la (re)construction des représentations et des rôles de genre, insistant notamment sur le caractère inaudible et illégitime de la revendication égalitaire dans la Roumanie d’après 1989.
