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.

Professor Jean Yoyotte, one of the most prominent French Egyptologists, holds that perhaps unlike what the Egyptians themselves maintain, the fountainhead of everything is not in Egypt; yet one has to agree that circa 3000 BC, Egypt was indeed much more advanced than its neighboring states. Indelible relics, architectural masterpieces, and works of art remaining from that era have reached us throughout the eons and for this very reason, Egypt is granted a fame and glory beyond its coterminous civilizations (Yoyotte [ii], p, 112). Much has been written on the pharaohs and the rulers and how they governed the land. This paper, however, seeks to investigate into ancient Egypt from a different perspective: the presence of women in the various spiritual and social layers and their rights and advantages which were and still remain to be a rarity in many countries for women. In the Egypt of the pharaohs, women enjoyed the highest peak of spirituality and they could assume the most important positions in the state; some were even pharaohs and would lead the state themselves.

Now days it is assumed that polygamy is inconsistent with human rights and it seems irrelevant to discuss and redefine this case. Some scholars believe this is not even a hypothesis that needs justification or confirmation. According to human rights and international laws this is accepted as a fundamental right and assumes the equality of man and women . With this presupposition in mind this paper will discuss the measure of conformity of polygamy with human rights.

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.

The conversion to Islam and bay’at of the newly converted Muslims are significant to draw the relationship between the Prophet of Islam and Muslims. There are lots of records and researches which depict the different aspects of bay’at between men and the Prophet. Then, what is significant is to examine if the Prophet also took the bay’at of women and, if yes, under which conditions? In fact, the social presence of women at the advent of Islam is the question the paper is to answer. This study is to explore the way the bay’at stimulated women to convert to Islam and abide by that. The principal questions the paper is to answer are: 1) What are the main periods of time and places that women did the bay’at with the Prophet?, and 2) What is the relationship between the women’s bay’at and their stimulation to convert to Islam?. The hypothesis, here, is that Bay’at is the subject under the Muslim women’s conversion to Islam. Women actually did use bay’at to indicate their affection and loyalty to Islam and the Prophet. The studies show that there is a direct relationship between doing bay’at and acknowledgement of and abiding by Islam. Women’s bay’at with the Prophet has occurred in different stages in Mecca and after the Prophet’s immigration to Medina. It even can not be limited to any specific place, time or person, and the converted women to Islam were looking forward to doing bay’at with the Prophet. He obliged the converted women to do bay’at after the conquest of Mecca, but it is not reported him to urge women to do so in any other episodes of the history of Islam.

In recent centuries, women were provided with the proper space to be active in social, political, economical, cultural, intellectual and literary areas. Therefore, they have done valuable activities and helped their countries to achieve increasing growth and manage fundamental changes.
In this regard, the Lebanese women have been active, despite all difficulties they have encountered. They try to present their ideas and activities in cultural and political conferences inside and outside the country. Simultaneously, they release the artistic and literary works which are so qualified and unique specifically comparing the similar works produced in other Arabic countries.
