Iulia Haşdeu (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈjuli.a haʃˈdew]; 14 November 1869 – 29 September 1888) had a famous father in the person of Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, a Romanian writer and philologist. Even though she died of tuberculosis at the age of 18, Iulia made many significant achievements. She wrote poems and prose, taught herself foreign languages and studied piano and canto. She was the first Romanian girl-student at La Sorbonne University in Paris. In her honour, her father built the controversial Iulia Hasdeu Castle in Câmpina, Romania. She was born in Bucharest and also died in the same city.
