Summary/Abstract: The article presents a proposal of combining the results of biological research with a feminist paradigm, pre-sented in the American context by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy. Through analysis of the ideas contained in the main works of this author I would like to bring her voice to the dispute between the evolutionists and the social constractivists. I believe that the use of stereotype breaking results of biological research can significantly increase the argumentative force of feminism. Popularization of Sarah Hrdy's legacy may be the first step to overcome the misunderstandings which have accrued so far.
