Abstract

The author considers the fact that feminism has two ways of development in the political sphere of the society: either formation of an independent political force or marginalization determined by inadequate view about the interpretation of the political realm gender dimension. According to the author, feminism is threatened by erosion and decay in case of its invading the non-political sphere and transference of opposing categorical divisions associated with the idea of “masculine” politics elimination. Since the non-political sphere becomes the field of generating sub-political civil initiatives, the positive prospect for political feminism is not to engender political issues, but to determine certain forms of civil participation and influence within society and social dialogue; as well as the frames of political representation, while maintaining the non-political sphere autonomy.
