Summary/Abstract: The text presents an autobiographical triangle “re-written” with the use of feminist critique tools. The sides of the triangle are: identity, performance and communication – modified strategies described in the “original” triangle by Małgorzata Czermińska. The base, from the perspective of feminist studies, was the question of communal subjectivity, expression of the female subject. Then the element of construction appeared – performativity of “I”. The third side of the triangle constitutes communicative pragmatism.
