Abstract

This article explores the portrayal of women in English literature spanning the 18th to the 20th centuries, shedding light on evolving societal attitudes towards gender roles. It delves into the struggles, triumphs, and changing roles of women across different historical periods. By analysing various literary works, the research reveals shifting social norms and expectations regarding women. The paper emphasises the diversity of perspectives on women's place and role in society within the selected literary pieces. From the 20th century onwards, particularly during and after the First World War, women began to challenge traditional gender stereotypes and assert their identities. This shift is reflected in English literature, with many feminist writers emerging to depict more nuanced relationships between men and women. The emergence of feminism as a concept is evident during this period, highlighting women's oppression in a male-dominated world. Additionally, the article considers the contemporary situation of Uzbek women, addressing issues such as ego conflicts and misunderstandings, and their desire to be heard and respected in society, despite enduring generational struggles.
