Summary/Abstract: The aim of our article is an attempt at a linguistic analysis of selected slogans accompanying the protests during the so-called Women's Strike at the turn of 2020 and 2021. What struck us when analyzing the slogans of the marches was not only their great diversity, but also the linguistic, cultural, social and historical awareness of young people on the one hand, and on the other hand - the ability to creatively use the potential of language. The tools we have used for analysis are the phenomena of conceptual blending and cognitive domain, postulated by cognitive linguistics, for creating and understanding complex texts of a metaphorical nature. In addition, we also refer to relevance theory and multimodal analysis of the cultural texts we recorded.
