تجليات النسوية ولغتها في أعمال كوليت خوري (ليلة واحدة وأيام معه) ومنيرو رواني بور (دل فولاد وكولي كنار آتش)

Feministic signs and female language (Écriture féminine) in the works of Colette Khoury (layla wāhida va ayyām maʽah (one night and some days with him)) and Moniru Ravanipor (dele fulād va kovli kenāre ātash (iron heart and the gypsy at the fire))

Officially formed in early 1800s, feminism is a movement that advocates the lost women rights. Gradually feminists’ beliefs entered literature, and many used their works as a tool to encounter the injustice imposed on the female society. Colette Khoury and Moniru Ravanipor are the two, Syrian and Iranian, writers, who have always tried to protest against the situation of women in society in their works and disclose their feminist viewpoints in their novels. Naturally, due to living in eastern societies and in concurrent eras, there are similarities between the literary works of both writers. Now, the question is what these similarities are? In this essay, using contrastive and descriptive analytic method, we have tried to answer this question. The results obtained from the study show that the main similarities found between the works of the two writers are as follows: mistrust and suspicion of men, discrimination against women, women's social degradation, women submission to social laws, coerced marriage and the traditional attitude of the society towards women. However, what distinguishes these two writers is that the women in Moniru Ravanipor are more oppressed. Moreover, she dealt with the superstitious and metaphysical costumes and traditions arose from naïve traditional beliefs and explicitly signifies to prostitution. But Colette Khoury has taken moderation into account in expressing her womanly experiences and mentalities and adhering them. The women of her stories have higher social status and are less offended and she has a simpler language to express issues, while Moniru Ravanipor has bitter and sharp language in describing daily routines in her novels and uses magic realistic style and deals with details.
