ABSTRACT
The feminist breakthrough in the sixties involved the significant change of
scientific paradigm. Feminist oriented scientists emphasize the importance of
women’s experience and understanding in research process. The new category in
social analysis concerns the gender term associated with cultural factors. Feminism
broadens the definition of politics and democracy, including in political analysis
issues which up to that moment were beyond the area of interest. Changing the
way of social scientific explanation as a result of feminist theory and practice also
concerns changes in research methodology.
