Summary/Abstract: Along with creating the conditions for progress and emancipation of women in society, they developed the instruments and methods of preventing the exercise of these conditions. Although it is evident legally equating women with men in all spheres of life in modern society there are various forms of self-suppression of women (psychological, economic, cultural, acceptance of women “without rebellion” of values and rules that are set by men and the like.). The increasing presence of women in the public sphere, their subjugation, discrimination and subordination are moved from private to public sphere - (in)ability to access public services, employment, wage levels and the like. The causes of this suppression are, usually, in the character of social relations - are still rooted in the patriarchal patterns - the imposition of “masculine” principles and rules of everyday life which suppress women from important segments of social relations.
