After the Romanian Revolution, she became the symbol of Romania's anti-communist resistance
After World War II, the peasants had to give up their land in order to implement collective farming
Elisabeta Rizea and her husband joined an anti-Communist guerrillagroup, Haiducii Muscelului, led by Colonel Gheorghe Arsenescu
Her assigned task within the group was to provide food and supplies

She was captured by the Romanian militia in 1952 and she was declared enemy of the people and sentenced to death because she refused to give information about the other partisans
Eventually her sentence was commuted to seven years in prison
When Arsenescu was arrested in 1961, her sentence was extended by another 25 years, but three years later, in 1964, she was freed under the terms of a general amnesty
During her twelve years spent in prison, she was subjected to various forms of torture: she was hung by her hair from a hook and beaten until she fainted due to broken ribs, and was also scalped, burned, and beaten with a shovel
Upon her release from prison, she had no hair and she couldn't walk, as her knees had been destroyed by the torture
Her story became known after an interview included in the 1992 documentary Memorialul durerii by Lucia Hossu-Longin
She was ranked 58th in the list "greatest Romanians of all time", a poll conducted in 2006 by the Romanian Television
