Paremiology remained on the outskirts of global scholarly scrutiny. The significance of ancient human universals in shaping commonalities across diverse world cultures has been largely overlooked. This research paper explores the representation of women in English and Telugu proverbs, undertaking a comparative analysis to discern cultural reflections within these linguistic expressions. By examining a diverse selection of proverbs from both languages, the study aims to unveil nuanced portrayals associated with women. The values attributed to women, the way women were treated, the rights that were granted to them, the nature of relationship that women established in their family life and how different roles of women like daughters, mothers and wives that were portrayed in the proverbs of English and Telugu languages presented in the study help one understand the underlying unity in the basic aspects of life between two different cultures the Telugu and the English, miles and miles apart geographically. The findings foster cross-cultural awareness and enrich the discourse on language, culture, and gender studies, providing valuable insights into the intricate relationship between language and societal attitudes.
