Abstract

The entrance of modernity into Iranian traditional society had a major impact on changing the mentality and social status of women. Because of the undeniable relationship between literature and society, this article investigates the evolution of the Iranian woman's mentality in dealing with modernity, relying on Persian novels. For this purpose, two novels "Black Times" and "Ziba" have been selected from the early years of the 14th century. The confrontation of the female characters of these two novels with modernity is compared with the confrontation of the female characters of the novel "Night One Night Two" written in 1974. women play a central role in these three novels so by analytical and descriptive comparisons it can show, in the authors' view, what has changed in the fifty years of the Iranian woman's mentality towards the components of modernity (based on Giddens's theories). To this end, the female personality in the face of the components of education, women's social presence, male and female equality, women's individuality, humanism, secularism and anti-tradition in the novels have been compared and investigated.
