Abstract

Proverbs are an essential part of traditional cultures and they play an important role in shaping people’s beliefs, values, and attitudes. Proverbs reflect cultural norms, values, and dogmas that provide insights into the very way people perceive themselves and others in terms of gender. This article aims to explore the role of proverbs in shaping gender roles and stereotypes in two distinct cultures, Russian and Ga. By examining a selection of proverbs from each culture, we will analyze how such reinforces or challenges gender roles and stereotypes. The article will also explore the implications of these messages on the development of gender identity and the perpetuation of gender inequality.
