The aim of this research is analyze the content of Lamerd's lullabies in Fars Province with sociological approach and to illustrate women's situation in family and the function of these lullabies in the mentioned region. The method of this study is qualitative content analysis of lullabies with inductive approach. The results of the research were considered in two sections: 1) the concepts related to family structure and functions of lullabies in relationship between couples. 2) Functions of lullabies in relationship between mother and her baby. The findings show the women's situation in traditional and male-dominated society and claim that in such circumstances lullabies had hidden functions for women: 1) they construct protest space for women 2) they prepare conditions for dialogue and explanation of desire and in better words facilitate establishing relationship for women. 3) Prepare space to get rid of psychological and structural stress. Therefore Considering the functions of lullabies for women, women's lullabies can be considered as media.

The beginning of the feminist movement in Iran coincided with the Constitutional Revolution and the reign of the first Pahlavi monarch. Liberal minded women took the initiative into their own hands and founded the first schools for girls, they organized societies and published journals dealing specifically with women's issues. Some pioneer women demanded legal rights for women. Parvin E`tesami was foremost among these women. She supported women's rights through her poetry, she consistently demanded that women should be respected and criticised and objected to the condition of women. She disparaged the patriarchal attitude of the government and her poems are full of her insistence that women and girls should be protected by society. The present article attempts to prove that a poem published in 1300/1921 in the journal Alam-e Nesvan, was by written by her. This short Qasideh, elegy has not attracted the attention of those who specialize in her work. The author of the present article attempts to establish the authenticity of this work as written by Parvin E`tesami by examining her style, and feminist stance of this famous poet.

The feminist literary criticism is a kind of criticism which deals with the masculine works and unveils the gynophobia of literary system. This school of thought believes that the masculine norms rule over literature and feminine experiences, desires, interests and emotions have turned pale and have been shown unimportant under these norms. So, the feminist literary criticism intends to reveal these masculine literary traditions by studying and analyzing texts from a gyno-oriented view to express how literary texts support gender distinctions in culture. This article criticizes three novels written by Mohammad Mohammad-Ali with a feminist approach emphasizing the significant factors such as the male chauvinism, sexual discrimination, violence, etc against women exploiting the documentary method. Women's status in Mohammad-Ali's novels gradually improves and their social relations become more and more complicated. Themes of identity exploration and self identification and also reciprocity of generations, which are amongst the most important themes of Mohammad-Ali's novels, well depict women’s gradual improvements in these stories and reveal specific approaches of the author base of a gyno-oriented view.

The book “One Thousand and One Nights” has always been considered as a relatively major source in cultural studies about women. This book comprises many female characters who play various moral and operative roles. It seems that this book does not merely reflect the common perspectives of one era or the personal experiences of its authors in relation with women; yet it is an intricate result of the society views toward this issue and different experiences of the authors. Throughout the years, it has developed the opportunities for expressing an idea, or the ways for opposing a belief and has also established the ground for its survival or demise. The investigated domain in this article is the Persian translation of the book “One Thousand and One nights” and some of the paintings of Sani’-ol-Molk. In the present study, the stories in which women play the primary role have been selected. The purpose of the current research is to explore the image of woman in these stories and to compare it with the paintings of Sani’-ol-Molk. Shahrzad is a key female character in the One Thousand and One Nights book who creates a general convergence in the stories by illustrating the conditions of women and introducing them as prudent, courageous, lover, artist and writer; and this results in the fact that not only is woman no longer disgraced but also the readers consider her as a complement, a collaborator and a comrade for man and therefore try to resolve her problems. Consistent with the language of the narrator of the stories and the story principles, Sani’-ol-Molk also creates a democratic atmosphere about women which demonstrates the profound impacts of Shahrzad and other women of the story on him.
