This article explores the expression of gender characteristics in the poetry of Zebo Mirzo, a prominent contemporary Uzbek poet. Mirzo’s work intricately weaves themes of femininity, identity, and social roles, presenting a nuanced portrayal of women’s experiences within the cultural and historical context of Uzbekistan. Through an analysis of her poetic language, imagery, and thematic concerns, the study reveals how Mirzo challenges traditional gender norms and articulates a complex, multifaceted understanding of gender. The article highlights the balance between vulnerability and strength in her depiction of femininity and considers the broader implications of her work for gender discourse in Uzbek literature. By situating Mirzo’s poetry within both personal and collective frameworks, the study underscores her contribution to expanding the boundaries of gender expression in contemporary poetry.
