Based on activity of particular creators authors/artists who undertook polemics with culture myth “assignment of women”, through discussing problems of unwilling parenthood, abortion. These texts not only describe characteristic threads of feministic art, but also womanly art (originating from personal declarations and ideological affiliation of authors). Origins of artistic works were based on personal experiences, authentic stories as well as the ability to identify with other women’s feelings. However, the artistic statements never remain without response from groups of influence even though they do not refer to any ideologies or norm systems. The result of women’s art activity does not only erase a few aesthetic and moral stereotypes which are typical o f men’s art, but also creates new “objective “regard for female body and women’s world.
