Abstract
The goal of the study is to determine how women are portrayed in various cultures and to examine the social, cultural, and ideological elements influencing these portrayals. Both universal and culturally particular aspects of the female image are revealed by the research through the use of comparative and qualitative analysis to literary and cultural sources from Eastern and Western contexts. The results show that cultural differences have a significant impact on women's social roles, autonomy, and symbolic meanings, even if they are frequently linked to values like care, morality, and continuity.
