  The misogynous narratives that were reflected in Nahj ul-Balāgha, are typically understood as such by decontextualizing the statements and embedding them in the modern framework. Given the incongruity between the traditional statement and the feminist viewpoints of the modern era, the statements- as part of Islamic and especially, Shiite tradition- are inconsonantly compared with the modern outlooks. The present paper shows that many of those statements regarding women in Nahj ul-Balāgha are not buttressed by any reliable evidence as well as the content of those statements could  be traced in the bulk of similar statements in the literary works written after the fourth century A.H. Moreover, given the cultural circumstances of the time that  Nahj ul-Balāgha was embedded in,  those attitudes towards women are intelligible and also they were accepted and considered to be consonant with the popular mentalities wrought into the historical and literary works contemporary with compiling Nahj ul-Balāgha and those composed in the subsequent centuries. To expound this hypothesis, attempts are made to analyze the evidence, context as well as cultural mentalities about women in Nahj ul-Balāgha, and its exegeses and sundry literary and historical texts produced up to the 6th/12th century in order to compare those texts with the former. The approach is non-confessional      Manuscript profile

  The position and the role of women in society, and the altered positive and negative attitudes towards them had frequently been reflected in all types of literature -- classic and modern, Eastern and Western. Nowadays by the expansion of female-oriented propensities like Feminism and its crossing the borders of literature, studies and researches on unilateral and even misogynist attitudes of some authors towards women have also been found urgent and necessary. The present paper focuses on these attitudes in two famous works of the world literature: One Thousand and One Nights, which is the most famous collection of old folk tales from East, and The Canterbury Tales, by English fictionist and poet Geoffrey Chaucer. These two works are almost similar in some respects, such as historical period, social background, and literary style. The researcher has tried to comparatively study the "woman" in them to reveal some paradoxical scope of misogyny and philogyny in both. Manuscript profile

  The author analyzed eight short Persian stories written by men writers on the basis of Josephine Donovan's Feminist theory to show the position and role of the women in these stories. Four stories were chosen among the works of Sadiq Hedayat and the other four stories were selected among the works of Al-ahmad. The author wants to illustrate that men as writers show women in cliche roles as objects, tools and dependent creatures not as a complete, independent women, in the world of males also investigates that there was not any humanitarian or supportive stance to display women, In the patriarchal world of these writers. Conclusions showed that both of the writers as influential Iranian writers in their cultural-social and traditional structures of their stories gave stereotypical roles to women and passive human-beings, playing secondary roles to satisfy patriarchal needs and requirements, and finally they passively give up in men’s world. Both of the theory and practice of the author were fully satisfied. Manuscript profile
