Abstract
The article examines the category of “successful woman” based on the comparative material of modern Russian and Chinese linguistic cultures. The purpose of the study is to find out how the concept of “successfulness” is implemented in the Russian and Chinese linguistic cultures, in particular, such its fragment as “successful woman”. The material for writing the article was the work of domestic and foreign researchers in the field of axiology, sociology, social psychology, sociolinguistics, cultural studies and linguoculturology as well as the research of the author of the article. The article confirms the hypothesis that the characteristics of “successful woman” are not permanent and depend on the characteristics of the national cultural development of a particular ethnic group.
