Anișoara Odeanu
Born28 May 1912
Died1 September 1972

Anișoara Odeanu (28 May 1912 – 1 September 1972), also known as Doina Stella Grațiana Peteanu was a Romanian journalist, poet, and prose writer during the interwar period. She was born in Banat, the daughter of a well known folklorist. Her friend and mentor was the celebrated Romanian author Camil Petrescu.

Career

Odeanu began writing as a child; her first poem was published at the age of 9 in her hometown. From 1929 to 1933, she studied at the Faculty of Letters in Bucharest. After graduation, she began studying law at the University of Bucharest and graduated in 1936.

Her debut novel was published in 1934 and was favourably reviewed by Romanian critics; George Călinescu referred to her as the first ingenue of female Romanian literature.

During the war, she wrote for the Romanian propaganda division.

Later years

Eventually her writing fell out of fashion; her work was rehabilitated in 1965 and her first novel, Într-un cămin de domnișoare, was republished. In 1972, she committed suicide the day after her husband's death.

Legacy

The Anișoara Odeanu Memorial House was inaugurated on 25 August 2020 in Pădureni, Timiș.

Selected works

  • Într-un Cămin de Domnișoare (In a Young Ladies' Boardinghouse, 1934)
  • Calator din Noaptea de Ajun (Traveller on Christmas Eve, 1937)
