As an ideology, anarchism has many currents formed through its symbiosis with various socio-political philosophies, including feminism. In the modern world, due to the growing support for feminism in Western countries, the study of anarcha-feminism as one of the most active anarchist movements seems to be useful for understanding the socio-political situation in Europe and the United States. The article examines the position of women in the anarchism ideology upon the development of the anarcha-feminist movement from the 19th century to the present day. Based on the works of the classics of anarcha-feminism (E. Goldman, W. De Claire) and modern research (D. Koval, M. Rachmaninova), the author conducted a comparative retrospective analysis of the relationship between anarchism and feminism within a single socio-political trend. The study revealed that despite the ideological similarity of anarchism and feminism in matters of equality and attitude to power, in classical anarchism women were assigned a rather insignificant, and even deprived, role. The fusion of feminism and anarchism, which came as a response to the unfair position of women in society, led to a change in the status of women in the understanding of anarchists, and also gave impetus to the development of modern anarcha-feminism (La Rivolta!, Eskalera Karakola, Wemoon’s Army, Radical cheerleading) including more and more men in the movement.

Как идеология анархизм имеет множество ответвленных течений, образуемых в результате симбиоза с различными общественно-политическими философиями, в том числе и с феминизмом. В современном мире из-за роста поддержки феминизма в западных странах изучение анархо-феминизма как одного из самых активных анархических течений представляется ценным для понимания общественно-политической ситуации в странах Европы и США. В статье исследуется вопрос положения женщины в идеологии анархизма в контексте развития анархо-феминистического движения с XIX века и до наших дней. На основе работ классиков анархо-феминизма (Э. Гольдман, В. Дэ Клер) и современных исследований (Д. Коваль, М. Рахманинова) был проведен сравнительно-ретроспективный анализ взаимосвязи анархизма и феминизма в одном общественно-политическом течении. В ходе исследования выясняется, что, несмотря на идейную схожесть анархизма и феминизма в вопросах равноправия и отношения к власти, в классическом анархизме женщине была отведена довольно незначительная, и даже депривирующая роль. Слияние феминизма и анархизма, возникшее как ответ на несправедливое положение женщин в обществе привело к изменению статуса женщины в понимании анархистов, а также дало толчок развитию современного анархо-феминизма (La Rivolta!, Eskalera Karakola, Wemoon’s Army, Radical cheerleading) с включением в движение все большего количества мужчин.
