| Abstract: | Ioan Slavici’s Mara and János Kemény’s The Witch of Waters are two Transylvanian novels which deal with the topics of Family and Womanhood in the context of the Transylvanian small town or rural society in the second half of the 19th century. In this article we approach issues like single parenthood, male and female roles, family interactions etc. In Slavici’s and Kemény’s fiction the traditional patriarchal family pattern is still very strong, but symptoms of its alteration become visible. |
| Key words: | patriarchal family pattern, monoparental family, shifting roles, absent father, mother with masculine identity, self-made woman |
