Lucia Florica Apolzan (15 February 1911 – 2001) was a Romanian anthropologist, educator, ethnologist, geographer, folklorist, memorialist, educator, poet, and sociologist, an interdisciplinary researcher of the Romanian hill and mountain village, of the ancestral civilization on the territory of Romania, as well as of its uninterrupted continuity in the territories where the Romanian language is spoken. She was considered the right-hand collaborator of sociologist Dimitrie Gusti, but with her own distinct personality. Called by many the Lady of the Carpathians, Apolzan was a thorough and tenacious researcher of the Romanian village.[1]
