Summary/Abstract: The end of the 20th century was marked by the change in epochal conscio usness which also implied the change in understanding of political options of the left and right spectrum. in the context of modern Serbian society, whi ch was built on the heritage of civil wars as well as capitalist transformation, right-wing extremism became a legitimate political option. The aim of this paper is to analyze the woman’s place narrative from the perspective of the Serbian movement dveri, the only parliamentary right-wing political party which dedicated a significant part of its political agenda to the woman que stion. With the analysis of a woman’s place narrative, i will try to point out how the rhetoric of right-wing political parties co-opts feminist politics with a goal to attract as many potential voters as possible, while transforming the traditional Right into Right with female face.
