%X After the fall of the dictatorship, the female body began to be regarded as a strategy for social mobility. Starting from their own accounts, this study seeks to observe how Romanian women socially presented their bodies over the last years of communist dictatorship and the modifications which came about as women adapted to a changing world (i.e. the post-communist decade), as well as the impact that the experience of migration had on the reconstruction of their identities. Despite claiming in theory to promote sexual equality, the totalitarian doctrine of the Socialist Republic of Romania contradicted it in daily practice. While allegedly suppressing androcentric values, these were actually reinforced by a paternalistic-oppressive state. Looking after one¡¯s appearance did not merit attention in a society forging a discourse in which the prevailing type of woman lacked a feminine identity and whose public image was pushed into the background as soon as she got married and had children. Este estudio se propone observar la presentaci¨®n social del cuerpo en el caso de la mujer rumana durante los ¨²ltimos decenios de la dictadura comunista y los cambios surgidos tras su relocalizaci¨®n en un mundo cambiante (la d¨¦cada postcomunista), as¨ª como las modificaciones que la experiencia migratoria opera en la reconstrucci¨®n de su identidad. A pesar de reivindicar en teor¨ªa la igualdad entre sexos, la doctrina de la Ruman¨ªa totalitaria la contradec¨ªa de facto en la pr¨¢ctica diaria. Mientras en apariencia, la ret¨®rica igualitaria suprim¨ªa los valores androc¨¦ntricos, estos eran en realidad reforzados por el Estado paternalista-opresivo. El cuidado del cuerpo no merec¨ªa atenci¨®n en una sociedad cuyo discurso impon¨ªa una mujer carente de identidad femenina y cuya imagen p¨²blica pasaba a un segundo plano en el momento de formar un hogar y procrear. Tras la ca¨ªda de la dictadura, el cuerpo de la mujer se percibe cada vez m¨¢s como una estrategia para la movilidad social.
