The image of the Algerian woman's self through popular proverbs in Algerian society

Abstract

This study aims at revealing the image of women in the Algerian popular proverbs. The importance of this study stems from the value of proverbs rooted in Algerian popular culture and their importance in education, which are used frequently in daily discourse. The content analysis method was used, and the study yielded the following results: - The popular proverbs have singled out women with a large share of negative proverbs, which often reflect a inferior view of women. - False popular examples have negative reflections on the image of the self for women and have an important role in social development and the formation of the personality of the individual
