This paper starts from Nietscze’s criticism of dogmatized truth. The basic hypothesis is that in Nietzsche's philosophy happens a self-revealing of truth, after which the truth remains no more the truth, but becomes deceiving truth or woman.

The paper starts from feminist interpretations of autobiography as gendered genre, in which specificities of the narrative situation of female subject are more visible then in the other forms of literary discourses. Erasing boundaries between public and private, autobiography proves to be potentially subversive in regard with socially approved stereotypes on gender roles. Thus Elena Rzhevskaya, in Distant Rumble, an autobiographical narrative on her experiences as military interpreter in post-war Europe, was able to inscribe a new reading of history in her narration on Stalin’s times from female perspective.

Focusing on three historical examples of a different understanding of Christian identity, the paper seeks to address the role of contemporary concepts of sex and gender in the creation of Christian identity. In the first case study, focused on the literary representations of the Christian martyrdom from the second and third centuries, special emphasis is placed on the demand for the ‘manly’ or ‘masculine’ way of witnessing faith. The second historical example relates to the creation of a wider ascetic movement in the fourth-century Asia Minor, and its specific focus is on Macrina the Younger. In her Vita, Gregory of Nyssa distinguishes between Macrina’s gender identity based on her virginity on the one hand, and her social role as a widow, and ‘mother’ and ‘father’ of her monastic community on the other. Finally, the focus is shifted towards Dionysius the Areopagite and Maximus the Confessor, whose teachings about ecstasy, as a way to transcend oneself in the movement towards the loved one, provide the basis for establishing a theology of marriage and creating a Christian identity based not on sexual or gender roles, but on the uniqueness of human nature.

Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel is a creative icon who has freed the ‘new’ woman from the millennium of dictated dress codes, stereotypical behaviors and clichéd sexual and status simplification. The little black dress has become synonymous of sophistication, to the femininity she gave the character flavor of relaxation and empowered women with timeless clothing pieces and equipped them with inspiring pieces of jewelry, distinctive decorative accessories and bold fragrances. Since then, with the Chanel fashion women were able to step sovereignly and freely aside of male. Coco resisted the reservation of clothing and decorative pieces and fabrics as exclusively masculine in order to help revolutionary women on their journey to a more a more useful elegance and a more noticeable fatality. Without any doubt she succeeded. She gave the new woman what she could not have before: practicality, youthfulness, timelessness and freedom, which was often scandalous at the time of her creation. But it has paid off with a revolution in the clothing industry and, more importantly, with a historic step in liberating the modern woman.

The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution (1970) by Shulamith Firestone is one of the earliest and fundamental texts that posits the postulates of radical feminist theories within the second wave of feminism. The theory that Marx and Engels based on the historical analysis of the material reality of productive relations in class society is, for her, only one part of that reality. For Firestone, as well as for radical feminists, the basic class division is the one based on sex, and not on economic classes. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to present how Firestone, while criticizing historical materialism, expounds sex classes division as the basis of social inequalities, as well as a critique of such a stance, primarily from the perspective of biological determinism. Second, the aim of this paper is to outline, based on Shulamith Firestone theory and the criticisms addressed, the extent to which radical feminist theory is responsible for articulating the legal protection of women on the basis of sex, and what significance and influence do the theory of the sex class system has in the present moment, when part of the women’s movement demands reconfirmation of women’s sex-based rights. Finally, the paper will contribute to the debate as to why the postulates of radical feminist theory – the sex class system and the concept of sex-based women’s rights – are relevant today, and what are the possible criticisms of such women’s organizing.
