The work considers the problem of feminine identity in the contemporary world. Modern discussion about the feminine identity is still alive and lead by most active feminists. One of them is Elisabeth Badinter, a French feminist, historian and professor of philosophy at the École Polytechnique in Paris. Her standpoint is called liberal feminism and it accepts all achievements of modern naturalism and pro-maternity organization of La Leche League. Badinter’s main contention is that women themselves are responsible for the crisis of their feminine identity. Presenting this radical statement, the work shows various roots of feminist philosophy, indicating in particular the existentialist thought of Simone de Beauvoir, who was the first to speak about ab independent feminine identity. In addition, it is crucial to compare Badinter with another modern liberal feminist, Betty Friedan, with a view to showing that the problem of feminine identity is essential in modern feminist philosophy.

The paper gives a definition of the concept of feminist philosophy from both historical and systematic perspectives. The special character of feminist philosophy is examined on the background of a controversial discourse, which has been developed in some of the philosophical sub-disciplines, such as philosophical anthropology, epistemology, the theory of science, esthetics, ethics, and in philosophy of law or in social philosophy. Regardless of their diversity, all of them share one objective, namely the global democracy, in which the emancipation ideal articulated in feminist movement could be realized.

The aim of the paper is to present the fundamental ideas of S. de Beauvoir's 'The Second Sex', which led to the conception of the gender and sex and made opening an intensive discussion of sexuality, corporeality and heteronormativity outside the mainstream philosophy, i.e. in feminist philosophy, possible. There were many responses to S. de Beauvoir's conception by feminist authors, such as Judith Butler and Monique Wittig, who discredit the facticity of corporeality and sex, defended by S. de Beauvoir.
