Abstract. The paper aims to identify features of the feminist methodology as one of the concepts of studying social processes. Starting from the classic quotation "The personal is political" by C. Hanisch, the author presents the logic of creating a fundamentally different research methodology that refuses to obtain absolute, reliable and universal knowledge. The paper examines its main differences from the positivist methodology, the features of using qualitative and quantitative research methods. Scientific novelty lies in carrying out a comprehensive analysis of the philosophical and methodological features of the feminist approach to analysing social phenomena. As a result, it has been determined that the consideration of an issue proceeding not only from the particular to the general but also from the individual reflection to the political one is peculiar to the feminist methodology.
