Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the systemic organization of derivative nouns of women in the modern Russian language, the totality of which is considered as a subcategory within the framework of the word-forming category "femininity". The subject of the study are feminine nouns - nouns of females, formed from personal masculine nouns. The relevance of the study is due to a reconsideration of the role and position of women in society, which led to a discussion about the need for the formation of correlative denominations of the feminine gender for professional and social belonging. The modern media space that we use as a source of material is a fertile ground for generating occasional lexicon, including feminine nouns. The word formation subcategory of female nouns is considered in the article, ten major word formation types forming the core and periphery of this category are revealed, the reasons for the appearance of newly formed feminine nouns and actualization of existing in the language are indicated. It was concluded that the extreme variety of the suffix means of expressing the category "femininity", on the one hand, promotes the active formation of feminine nouns, on the other, makes it difficult to secure a definite form in the language, which could subsequently lead to the codification of feminine neologisms. The prospects of the future research of feminine nouns within the framework of the derivational aspect are outline
