This article examines the linguocultural model of the female image in English and Uzbek languages through comparative and
systematic analysis. The study explores a wide range of historical, religious, social, cultural, and psychological factors that have
influenced the formation and development of the female image. Linguistic units characteristic of English and Uzbek cultures—
such as phraseological expressions, metaphors, gradational constructions, and modern concepts—are analyzed to reveal cultural
perceptions of women. The article demonstrates that in English culture the female image is largely associated with individualism,
personal independence, social activity, and professional self-realization, whereas in Uzbek culture the woman is primarily
conceptualized as a mother and the moral and spiritual pillar of the family and society
