Abstract
Russian-Soviet writer of Kazakh origin, Aleksandr Serafimovich (1863-1949), is one of the important writers who played an extremely active role in the social-literary life of his country. The work of Iron Flood, which reflects the civil war quite strikingly and became the bedside book of the masses shortly after its publication, brought Serafimovich a great reputation in his artistic life. In this work, the author reveals the struggle for the survival of the people, who show an unwavering will to the opposing forces that try to divide the country, even though they suffer in great poverty, and highlights the women, who are the unsung heroes of this community, with very striking scenes. In the novel, all women, from young to old, each of whom is a mother, wife and lover, take on the duty of guards, who were tasked with protecting their families at first. However, these women, who lost their homes, children and spouses as the war conditions worsened over time, show a great example of struggle by turning into warriors when they have nothing to lose. In our study, the acumen of the heroines who managed to impress the reader in a short time in Serafimovich’s Iron Flood, and the great transformation in their selves for this purpose, will be presented by supporting with striking quotations from the work.
