Abstract
The 20th century is sometimes called the „century of women.” Feminism of the second wave, preceded by the involvement of suffragists and their effective fight for political rights, accelerated the process of shaping women’s self-consciousness. However, this process started much earlier. The 19th century protests of emancipated women had been preceded by a hundred-year history of women’s rebellions. Although their motivation at the stage of contestations in the 17th and 18th centuries was primarily economic and political, and they only supported men’s activity, still the reflection on the inadequacy of social contribution of women and their actual participation was born. This article is therefore devoted to these timid beginnings of the revived awareness of equality, expressed in various forms of rebellion and protest.
