Ecaterina Teodoroiu (Romanian pronunciation:[ekateˈrinate.odoˈroju]; formal rendition of Cătălina Toderoiu;[1] 15 January 1894 – 3 September 1917) was a Romanian woman who fought on the front and died in World War I, and is regarded as a heroine of Romania.[2]
A Romanian Scouts member, she had initially worked as a nurse but she subsequently decided to become a front-line soldier, being deeply impressed by the patriotism of the wounded and the death of her brother Nicolae, a sergeant in the Romanian Army.[2] It was an unusual decision for a woman of that era, so she was sent to the front rather reluctantly. However, with the support of the Romanian royal family,[citation needed] she was able to serve in the military and eventually came to be seen as a symbol.[2]
