The article is aimed at the systematization of theoretical and methodological approaches to the analysis of gender inequality.
The author has made a careful analysis of the main conceptions of gender inequality
in modern sociological theory: functional and conflict points of view, feministic
theories (liberal, Marxist, radical, and socialistic feminism) as well as stratification
and constructivist approaches. Correlation between feministic and sociological positions in the research of gender relations is also a question of this paper.
