Summary/Abstract: Feministic theoriticians claim that in essence of modern political theory exists problem which was hidden in classical theories of social contract - problem of patriarchal power or domination of men or women. Feministic critique of private - public distinction focuses on patriarchal construction which makes women and their bodies part of private sphere and excluded from public sphere. Difference and split between private and public, or patricularistic and universalistic sphere of society is basic structural principle of modern liberal conception. Disorder of Woman by Carole Pateman is very important book on this topic.
