Abstract

The article aims at presenting women’s and men’s political activity, both in its formal aspect (conventional political activity) - manifesting itself in participating in elections or belonging to a political party - and informal actions (unconventional political activity) - connected with direct influence on the political sphere. On the basis of research, including that of the current author, the evolution of women’s presence in politics is shown. The main manners of explaining the differences in intensity, as well as the chosen forms of political activity among women and men, are also put forward.
