Post-1989 feminist critique in Poland tried to establish itself academically not only in a social landscape of immense political and economic change, but also in a discourse that framed feminist arguments as communist relics. In analysing three major books in feminist Polish literary studies from the 1990s, we find there is a main interest on the condition of women and the specifics of female writing. This trending current propagates the introduction and stabilisation of two categories: the description of the female condition as an academic discipline based on political neutrality and objectivity, and the discipline of womanhood itself, framed by the enhancement of stereotypically understood femininity based on female corporeality and feeling. This main strand of Polish feminist critique of the 1990s thus affirms an apolitical and normative understanding of academic research and of gender roles, re-staging a bourgeois discourse that dismisses political engagement and critical deconstruction.
