Summary/Abstract: Due to the fact that the question of achieving gender equality is becoming increasingly frequent in modern society, the subject of this paper refers to feminist pedagogy. Since the 1970s it has emphasized education as an important means of achieving gender equality in society. Based on the relevance of the topic, but also the fact that very little has been written about feminist pedagogy in the Serbian language, the main aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the key theoretical concepts of feminist pedagogy, but also to consider the possibility of applying its ideas in the modern educational context, which is increasingly under the influence of neoliberalism. Based on an analysis of the literature, it can be concluded that feminist pedagogy is a complex concept, and its definition can differ depending on the different starting points of those who study and practice it. Nonetheless, all approaches are directed towards the same goal – the achievement of gender equality, both in education and in society. Further, it can also be concluded that the application of the ideas of feminist pedagogy could have numerous advantages in the modern educational context, but also that this application could be challenging, due to the fact that the principles of feminist pedagogy are in opposition to the principles of the dominant, neoliberal ideology.
