New anthropological vision, which appears in The Cleft by Doris Lessing, touches on the most important, eternal problems of humanity – struggle of sexes, dominance in the world, interpersonal relationships, structure and semantics of roles in communities. Wise, self-sufficient Clefts and infirm or expectant, but shrewd Sprinklers are allegories of present women and men. Establishment of the family and the formation of sexual identity thousands of years ago tends to reflect on the present, masculine order in which the division of roles is simply unfair. The Cleft of Doris Lessing tries to answer the ques-tion about the provenance of order in which we live and which Simone de Beauvior re-monstrated by writing in The Second sex: „Women are not born – we become them”. An interesting fact is constituted by the novel’s reception. On one hand, the famous American literary scholar Harold Bloom described The Cleft as a „crusade against the men”, on the other hand the book provoked polemics around feminists. Allegations were directed, as if the novel was built on the „essentialist stereotypes”, as well as focused on the „prejudices and patriarchal flaws”. To what extent are these voices reasonable – the answer is provided by the gender theory solutions.
