Summary/Abstract: The position of women in society and public attention has never been unambiguously determined purely by their work and achievements, but has always required much more than that, whether in individual or collective experiences of dealing with the ever-present patriarchal reality. In this paper I wish to point out some repetitive patterns of the exclusion, denial and repression of women in public spheres, primarily in the context of their social and political struggle, but also in the continuous theoretical and practical work to make this struggle visible in the field of engaged knowledge production. From a personal and feminist viewpoint on education and works on these topics, I wish to highlight how boundaries have been overcome and exceeded in (post) Yugoslav society, pointing out the mistakes and misconceptions frequently faced by the supporters of feminist theory and practice.
