Abstract :

The feminist point of view is based on the equality of value and rights of women and men; in most societies, men are given more privileges. Women's legal studies in Western countries were formed in the form of feminist movements in the nineteenth century. Literary works are one of the most important tools for understanding the rights and status of women. women took up the pen and described themselves with the language of femininity, many facts about women's identity and thought have been revealed and introduced to the society. Daneshvar is the first Iranian woman writer who seeks to express women's rights in all her works, in various ways, and considers herself a feminist. English writer Woolf is a feminist thinker and one of those who has defended the lost rights of women in her works in a satirical language, a thought whose main focus is women and gender discrimination. In the current research, while representing the position and role of women in their important works - "Saushun" and "A room of One's own" - the differences and similarities of these two authors are analyzed and analyzed in a documentary and qualitative way. The result of the research shows that these two writers, despite the differences that are caused by their different religious, cultural and social attitudes, have common features in feminist literature and demands, one of the most important of which is the restoration of rights and Knowing the identity and position of women in a patriarchal society.
