Proverbs are the result of thousands of years of accumulation of a nation, carrying an anonymous character, concise, succinct, and standardized in nature, providing advice and guidance. They reflect a nation's beliefs, traditions, attitudes toward events, and its perception of the world. Because they contain common thoughts, beliefs, and accepted wisdom, they are a collective expression of understanding of life, folk wisdom, thought, and philosophy. What makes proverbs not be forgotten by making them a product of cultural memory is their impressive/striking language and style. The most prominent element of this language and style is that they are in verse, created with various literary arts, especially rhyme and meter. One of the figures of speech that make expression effective in proverbs is metaphor. “Metaphor” is defined as “giving a meaning to a word beyond its special meaning.” In proverbs, metaphor is used for the purpose of word economy and strengthening the effect. Given that these metaphors are grounded in physical, social, and cultural experiences, cultural variations may arise when transitioning from one cultural context to another, for example, a society predominantly focused on raising animals may employ metaphors related to animals, while a society primarily engaged in agriculture may use metaphors associated with plants. In this context, metaphorical expression holds significance for proverbs that form the codes of behavior and the forms of relations a society establishes with its social and physical environment as processed collective texts reflecting folk philosophy. The individual, who tries to give meaning by associating their perceptions of self and the external world, creates the societal cultural identity through the symbolization of elements entailing positive and/or negative connotations. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the social status of women in Kazan Tatars through sample texts by analyzing the meaning of the metaphorical proverbs of Kazan Tatars about women. The material of the study consisted of 237 metaphorical proverbs selected from the second volume of the three-volume series of Nekıy İsenbet’s Tatar Ḫalıḳ Mekallerě (Tatar People's Proverbs). In the proverbs examined, six main groups of metaphors were identified: “Elements of Nature”, “Animals”, “Body Elements”, “Objects”, “Colors” and “Other Metaphors”. In these proverbs, important data have been obtained about the place of women in society, the general characteristics of the female sex appeal, gender-related social roles, choosing a spouse for family and marriage, and male-female relations among Kazan Tatars. The semantic world of metaphors that give vitality and strength to the expression in proverbs is parallel to the thought universe of Turkish culture and mythology.
