Annotation: Language reflects the culture, values, and traditions of a society. One of the richest sources of cultural meaning is found in phraseological units — fixed expressions such as idioms, proverbs, and sayings. This article explores how phraseological units in Uzbek and English reflect social attitudes toward women and their roles in family and society. By analyzing similarities and differences in meaning, structure, and connotation, the article highlights how language captures both universal and culture-specific perceptions of femininity, work, family duties, and social expectations. The findings suggest that while both Uzbek and English phraseology historically reflect patriarchal views, modern usage shows signs of change as gender equality becomes a shared global value.
