Abstract
This article analyzes the reflection of socio-political issues, social inequality, and women's rights in the creative work of Anbar Otin, a prominent representative of late 19th and early 20th-century Uzbek classical literature. Operating within an era of significant social transformation and the rise of Enlightenment ideas in Central Asia, the poetess positioned her lyricism as a powerful social mirror. The study highlights how Anbar Otin criticized ignorance, illiteracy, and the oppression of Eastern women, while actively advocating for their right to education and freedom. Furthermore, the article explores her creative connections with contemporary reformist poets like Muqimi and Furqat, emphasizing the enduring literary and socio-spiritual value of her poetic legacy.
