Summary/Abstract: Author analyses development of “woman issues“ in Serbia and Yugoslavia during second half of 20th Century, in the context of its influence on marriage and family. Though these influences were often quite indirect, they can be observed as one of the most radical ideological penetration in the process of transformation of traditional value system. Ideological climate of the time implied abolishing of all kinds of authorities which were inbuilt in the bases of traditional social organization. This was primarily related to dissolution of faith in eschatological meaning of historical realities, thus “liberation” from God`s authority appeared to be condition and cause of all other ”liberties“. Atheisation meant gradual reduction of human existence to its ”horizontal“ dimension, and thus represented the base of most radical transformations of contemporary civilization. On the other hand, process of woman liberation, which was partly consequence of first, represented gradual (and still unfinished) realization of vision about different organization of human society inside this horizontal line
