Abstract: This article explores the portrayal of women and their societal roles
in the literary and cultural works of the Jadid movement. The Jadids, as reformist
intellectuals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Central Asia, advocated for
modernization, education, and social reforms, including the advancement of women's
status. Through analysis of key texts and writings, this paper examines how Jadid
authors depicted women as crucial agents of cultural renewal and social progress,
emphasizing their education, emancipation, and moral influence within the family and
society. The study highlights the complex and sometimes ambivalent perspectives on
gender roles, reflecting both traditional values and progressive ideas characteristic of
the Jadid reform agenda.
