Abstract :
The novel Landlocked is the fourth book in the series “Children of Violence” by Lessing. According to what Klein has written in criticizing Lessing, in the series “Children of Violence” Lessing has more than anything else expressed his personal and social life. On the other hand according to the interviews conducted with Simin Daneshvar an instance of which is published in her book “Knowing and Admiring of Art”, she has been inspired by the realities of her life and her social environment in writing “Su’uvashoon”. Considering their different personal & social experiences of war, the present article compares the instances of war in “Su’uvashoon” and Landlocked under Showalter’s feminist criticism theory. Although women writers are geographically far from each other, they use similar styles for writing in reaction to a social realty such as war.
