The paper demonstrates the conditions of the formation of the Renaissance social program and explicates the thought that the social ideal of that epoch is an independent from tradition and social privileges master of life, who is self-determined only due to his own activity and creative potential. The rise of those presuppositions had benefited to gradual improvement of women’s social status. From this time on woman stopped being considered as an incarnation of evil, every manifestation of which should be stopped by every possible means. In the same time she doesn’t lose her predestined mission which is realized through propagation. Such directive helps to further development of patriarchal relations and gender inequality the overcoming of which requires drastic rethinking of the place and role of human being in the world
