THE IMAGE OF WOMAN IN THE WORKS OF ABDULLA QODIRIY

Abstract

This article analyzes the image of woman in the works of the prominent Uzbek writer Abdulla Qodiriy. Special attention is paid to the female characters in the novels “O‘tgan kunlar” (“Bygone Days”) and “Mehrobdan chayon” (“Scorpion from the Altar”). The study examines the social, moral, and psychological aspects of female images, their role in revealing the historical realities of the period, and the author’s attitude toward the status of women in traditional society. The research shows that Qodiriy portrays women not only as victims of social injustice but also as morally strong and spiritually rich individuals.
