Abstract
Female and male works and the writing styles of these works are different in some cases because of the psychological, physiological, sociological and linguistic differences. The appearance of these differences is obvious in the language, themes, poetic images and in all deep and surface structural elements. The linguistic and content differences of the works of contemporary Iranian female writers and poets have been surveyed and studied, but "imagery", which is one of the main rhetorical elements in the poetry of poets and the appearance of femininity of female poets in the form of this rhetorical element, has not been surveyed. The aim of this study is to analyze femininity in the poetic images of Simin Behbahani. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method, has surveyed femininity and appearances of femininity in the poetic images of Simin Behbahani show the difference between male and female writing in the form of this rhetorical element.
The results of this study indicate that the author's gender is often reflected in his poetic images, and Simin, with his feminist approach, has created images related to his feminine world and has revealed his individuality in the form of these images
