Özet:

In Turkey, the family is the most important social institution. As in other Turkish communities, women have an important position in the Uyghur society. It is the core staircase of the family, which is an inseparable element of the social structure as a mother, wife, lover. In their geography and historical conditions, the Uyghur Turks have been forced to accept different religious structures. Every different religion has caused changes in the social values of society. During the time when the Uyghurs accepted the passive, peaceful religions such as Buddhism, Manichism, the woman lost her old power and became a motherhood identity. In the period of religious and political confusions, the woman has regained her social status in the past, and in the stories of a time, the woman, who was only a mother at home, has now evolved towards a warrior alpine type. In the Uighur stories, women are facing us with different identities. The article will study the women's types that are frequently included in the Uyghur stories. Mother, grandmother, lover, wife, daughter, fairy tale, witch, camper (old woman), giant, lazy, etc. These are the kinds of women in the Uyghur magic stories.
