Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Women have had a prominent place in the works of writers during different periods of fiction literature, and before the entry of female writers into this type of literature, women"s issues and emotions with a male point of view appeared in stories; But from the 1940s onwards, women found the courage to address women"s issues by entering the field of fiction writing, and introducing women"s social position became one of the main concepts of women"s fiction. Shehrnoush Parsipour, Moniro Ravanipour, Ghazaleh Alizadeh, and Goli Taraghi are among the writers of women"s fiction literature, each of whom has addressed women and their social position in society from a specific perspective. In the works of the mentioned authors, women accept various roles in the society. Sometimes he takes a passive state and bows down to the determinism of problems, and sometimes he overcomes the obstacles and problems of society in order to achieve excellence and perfection.
