  Gnosticism as an important and effective school have been studied frequently. It is mainly due to its influences on several mystical and religious traditions. In this article we study the role of women in Gnostic traditions by considering the mutual relation between religion and society. In the first two centuries A.D., based on the teachings of two Gnostic teachers, i.e. Simon Magus and Valentinus, a particular attitude was taken towards the role of women by the Christian theologists. Thus, the Gnostic worldview and theology spread to explain the position of the female element in the divinity. Moreover, the role of wisdom (often characterized by the name of Sophia), in the process of creation, was emphasized. In a reciprocal way, this theology, based on the female divine personality, affected the activities of women in religious society and the understanding of the scriptures. Manuscript profile

Thus, religion has a close tie with society and communities. On the other hand, religion or the artistic interpretation of religion that is called "mysticism" has always been adjacent to human being so that during various centuries of human lives, it has grown up with technology and human way of thinking, and sometimes it has changed clothes to lend itself to modern interpretation and different shapes. A look at the essence of religion reveals that each one of religions per se has proposed different kinds of compromises for human communities in a sense that either religion possesses compromise for society or society offers something identical for religion. Accordingly, this paper deals with the study of religion and its relationship with mysticism, society, and compromises that religion generates for society Manuscript profile
