Abstract :
This article aims to study the image of women in two Iranian modern novels: Suvašun by Simin Daneshvar and My Bird by Fariba Vafi. The writers have tried to review and analyze the form and the content of the novels as well as the culture and ideology of the society laid on the women as depicted in the two novels. In this regard, a vivid picture of women, the reflection of their feelings and sentiments, the superiority of men over women, the dogmatism imposed on them, their being humiliated and exploited, the individual and social boundaries for them, and their lost identity have been focused on. In an analytic-descriptive method and through a deconstructive approach, the present study has explored the new wave in which contemporary female writers trend towards fighting a masculine way of looking at women and adopting a thoroughly feminist one instead in order to exhibit a new picture of women who want reforms in their situation but are doomed to live a passive life under outlying suppressions
