Mistress Romania
The Romanian mistress – mășcăliană, in Romanian – is more than a lover or a girlfriend. She is someone who takes care of the household and is indispensable to her husband, or even to the entire family, for her ability to provide a level of comfort that no other person can offer. In addition to the material things she provides, a good mistress is also able to bring spiritual joy and even peace of mind to her partner.
Although Romania had long aspired to be a part of the western world, many of its citizens did not have a very high standard of living. The majority of the population was comprised of peasants, who were often quite poor and often very dissatisfied with their lot. These people yearned for change, and a great opportunity came along in the form of the 1917 revolution that brought to power a new, more progressive regime.
But change was not easily accomplished. There were many factions fighting for supremacy, and the new leaders lacked a strong sense of direction. One of the most prominent figures in this chaotic period was Queen Helen, a woman with considerable personal charisma. Her mother’s love and respect for her, as well as the fact that she intervened to save thousands of Jews (something which infuriated Adolf Eichmann) made her the focus of a lot of attention from both opponents and supporters alike.
The story of Queen Helen’s rise from obscurity to prominence is one which could fill an entire book. It was not without its twists and turns, but it was certainly a fascinating one.
Her most important achievement was perhaps her time at the peace conference in 1919, where she managed to bring a much needed degree of maturity to the proceedings. It was a very complicated conference, and she had to balance her own interests with those of her country. Her role in this was crucial, and her influence can still be felt today.

The favorite grandchild of an Orthodox village rabbi in rural Moldavia, Ana Rabinsohn had a “galloping climb” to become the pre-eminent female apparatchik of Eastern Europe. Levy writes of her early years: “Her parents’ marriage was shaky. Her father was a shoket, a ritual meat slaughterer who moved the family to Sulina on the Danube for business reasons.” She was precocious, and she broke the sex barrier by attending a boys’ heder. In Bucharest, she attended a vocational school and learned enough Hebrew to teach it to others.
