Abstract

For a long time, and even up until today, patriarchy prevailed in Kazakh society. Women were unable to raise their voices. In today's society, Kazakh girls have begun to fight back against the difficulties they face through art - painting, song, dance, and various artistic forms. This struggle is now rapidly developing and finding support among women in society. This article examines the direction of this "voice" in the field of poetry. When a country has fair rules, a free market, and protected property rights -"inclusive institutions", women have a real chance to express themselves creatively. In such an environment, art ceases to be just a hobby - it becomes a powerful force that changes both culture and the economy.

Women's success in the creative industries is a sign that the economy is becoming open and modern, which ultimately benefits the entire society. Drawing on Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity, the article analyzes how Kazakhstani women use art to deconstruct traditional gender roles and imposed social expectations. The article argues that contemporary Kazakh poetry has moved from a historically forced "silence" to an active, performative rethinking of identity. Through an analysis of the works of contemporary female poets, the process of dismantling patriarchal norms and the emergence of subjectivity is demonstrated.
