Abstract

The author of the text touches upon the subject of the virtual activity of women’s movements in Poland. By using the netography method, with the specific application of an analysis of social networks, she looks at the digital image of Polish feminism, paying attention to the positive and negative aspects accompanying women in their struggle in online space. The author’s main goal was to study the language used by contemporary feminists in the virtual world, whether it is a language of love or a language of hate.

The article presents the activities of women’s organizations online, making an attempt at outlining the main ideas visible in the discourse of these movements. Owing to the conducted analysis, the author presents the impact and the clearly outlining intentions of women’s movements online, with particular attention paid to both the positive and the hostile interactions in the feminist online space.
