Abstract

In the context of globalization and modernization, the cultural identity of ethnic minorities is undergoing a dynamic transformation. As a specific ethnic-gender group, Mongolian women face particularly salient issues regarding cultural identity. They not only bear the responsibility of carrying forward traditional culture but also confront the challenges of modernity, rendering them a crucial lens through which to observe cultural adaptation and identity construction. Therefore, the study of the cultural identity of Mongolian women holds both theoretical and practical significance. This study employs a combination of literature review and case study analysis to focus on the mechanisms and expressions of cultural identity among contemporary Mongolian women, exploring their pathways of identity negotiation and construction within multicultural contexts. The findings indicate that their cultural identity is shaped by historical, social, and individual factors. Subsequent to the establishment of New China, their social roles underwent significant transformation, revealing a dual nature of cultural self-perpetuation and social construction, while also facing pressures from modernization and inherent tensions between ethnic and gender identities.
