Summary/Abstract: Recent years have brought far reaching changes in the Polish public sphere and woman have played their part in it. It is therefore important to ask about their motivation for participation in public affairs, describe their preferred strategies and think about future, that is ask the question about durability of the chosen models. Public sphere today is growing more and more diverse which makes the task of defining it more difficult than ever. We are still looking for answers to questions such as what is the public sphere? What categories can be used to mark boundaries of public sphere? Who and what influences public sphere? What are the subjects operating in public sphere and what are the limits of their power? J. Habermas, J.S. Mill, J. Rowls, A. Giddens and H. Arendt have tried to answer all those questions and many more. Their thoughts were my inspiration.
