An Intimate Relationship as a Space for Shaping Women’s Sense of Subjectivity

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses selected aspects of the sense of subjectivity of women supported by social work institutions.

The following categories were identified: self-awareness, freedom, and relationality, as selected predicates making up the examined issue. The analysis of the interviews discusses partner relationships that strengthened women as well as those that contributed to a loss of the sense of subjectivity by the narrators. The role of significant Others in the process of shaping women’s sense of subjectivity was also pointed out: relatives, partners, and professionals in the field of social assistance.
