Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the category of sisterhood and ways of its functioning in the Polish feminist discourse. It was conducted on the articles published in the media, created after the 10th Congress of Women (Łódź, 16–17.06.2018). One of these article tells the story of women security guard and shows how improperly she was treated by organizers of the Congress during the work at Congress. This history has become an important reference point for subsequent texts. It has revealed various positions and value systems organizing contemporary thinking about sisterhood, which I present in the article using three types of narrations that emerged from the analysis of the indicated texts: (1) the narration of difference, (2) the narration of solidarity over divisions and (3)the narration of sisterhood as a struggle.
