Abstract

Abstract:

The reflection of feminist ideas and projects in fiction texts caused women to have a great desire to create women centered texts at different times. Now, with a cursory look at the previous researches in the criticism of the novel The Curse of Gray (1381) by Mahsa Mohib Ali, it is clear that most of these researches in the form of articles and theses have considered this work as a feminist text only and have limited themselves to the analysis of the elements of this approach, while the authors in the upcoming essay have tried to face the neglected issue of other critics' researches regarding the feminist criticism of the novel The Curse of Gray with a serious question. It can be considered the most important premise of this essay to resolve the ambiguity of the author's approach with regard to his idealistic effort For this purpose, the authors of this article are trying to criticize and evaluate Mahsa Mohib Ali's critical and protest approach towards avantgarde feminism in the form of the novel "The Curse of Gray". This is a research article using the qualitative content analysis method, which has been prepared by using documentary, library, interview and authoritative websites based on the authors' inferences from the research data analysis. The most important achievement of this research is the extraction and in text analysis of elements in th e field o f radical feminism such as: parthenogenesis (virginity) anti-masculinity and realization of woman's individuality, which Mahsa Mohib Ali uses these cases in th e middle of the story by changing his opinion on this. The truth emphasizes that the radical teachings of radical feminism have not achieved appreciable success in reducing gender inequalities an d oppressions, an d this has questioned the theoretical foundations o f radical feminists.
