Abstract: Language, as a product of society and a mirror of culture, reflects people’s attitudes towards life, concepts of value, ways of thinking and all other social phenomena; sexism is embodied as well. This paper attempts to investigate the hidden sexism in English idioms by means of classifying and analyzing the phenomena of discrimination against female. In idioms, it is common to see such phenomena as projecting women’s low status in society, belittling women as lacking in intelligence, reflecting women as a kind of commodity in marriage, reflecting the weakness and caprice of women’s temper, reflecting women as being evil and troublemakers and so on. Meanwhile, sexism in English idioms is deep-rooted. From analysis, it can be concluded that religious influence, cultural perspective and social reality all contribute to it. What’s more, language is developing, so the phenomenon of sexism in English idioms develops as well. Key words: sexism; English idioms; roots
