Abstract
<jats:p>This study examines the representation of family conflict in modern literature by Russian and Russian-speaking Kazakh women writers. This study employs content analysis, comparative, and structural methods to analyse novels by U. Tazhikenova, L. Kalaus, K. Sarsenova, V. Tokareva, G. Yakhina, and L. Ulitskaya. The study reveals heterogeneity in themes of familial conflict, the context and artistry of portraying family dynamics, and unique authorial representations. A comparative investigation uncovers shared trends and distinguishing characteristics, resulting in the development of a family conflict framework specific to each author's interpretation. A model of family conflict and its variations in women's literary texts is constructed based on these findings. This research provides a basis for subsequent investigations into postmodern and feminist prose, as well as cross-cultural analyses of familial values and tensions in global literature.</jats:p>
