The literature legacy of many Turkic female poets is of great interest for the history of national literatures, this legacy being distinctive, original and having a number of common topics and problems. The range of images in their work is not limited to the mere description of beauty, intelligence, tenderness and faith of a woman. The poets try to stress the meaning of a woman’s role in spiritual and moral revival of the society. Due to the masterful depiction of a female soul, which primarily emerges as the source of support and belief, in this literature we find images embodying a national ideal of a woman.
