Summary/Abstract: The article shows the relationship between philosophical thought and feministart in terms of searching for subjectivity in women’s creations. This is a reviewof the theories proposed by Luce Irigaray, Hélène Cixous, Julia Kristeva, and byJudith Butler, Donna Haraway, and Rosi Braidotti, which, as this article proves,manifest themselves in the art that defines itself as feminist. Monstrosity is animportant prospect here. The author presents écriture féminine and women’sliterature, namely Charlotte Roche’s Wet Places and Izabela Filipiak’s TotalAmnesia. Moreover, visual arts by Cindy Sherman, Chili Kumari Burman, Jo Spece,as well as a performance by Carolee Schneemann and ORLAN are discussed.
