The purpose of this research was to analyze and interpret the gender roles reflected in expressive verses of female poets. The statistical universe of the research included the expressive verses of female poets. The sample embraced expressive verses of Simin Behbahani, Forough Farrokhzad, Sepideh Kashani and Tahereh Safarzadeh. The combined research method was descriptive-comparative-analytical-statistical.) The data collection promoted through the library method. The results indicated that the analysis and interpretation of the gender roles reflected in the expressive verses text of female poets were based on the theory of Sandra Bem's gender glasses. By describing 20 strong attributes for women in gender roles, she provided a model for determining the extent of women's belief in the identity and gender labels that culture and power have favored and designed for them. Significant signs of the narrator's mental image of her "I" were manifested in the expressive verses language context, which could draw and complete the author's identity-gender scheme for psychological research. The results also showed that the words according to women's moods in expressive verses manifested women's deep sensory-emotional signs and their commitment to the world (others, nature, society). Women were warm and sensitive to the needs of "others". Sadness, acceptance of fate, inferiority, resorting to religious beliefs and sometimes superstitions to save from personal and collective troubles, commitment to perform socio-cultural rituals and being submissive were the main identity-gender characteristics of women. Simple and brief sentences in women's poetry expressed characteristics such as lack of openness, being brief, accepting and not criticizing or demanding rights from women.
