RANJBAR, Ebrahim; NOVIN, Hossein; MOHARAMI, Ramin  and  SALAHI, Asgar. Reflection of feminist thoughts in Ghazaleh Alizadeh's novel "Tehran Nights". Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.5, pp. 108-115.  Epub Dec 03, 2019. ISSN 2218-3620.

Social issues are widely expressed in Ghazaleh Alizadeh's works. Women's issues and problems are one of the most important social issues, and in this respect their thoughts are sometimes aligned with feminist ideas. Ghazaleh Alizadeh is a female Iranian novelist and critic. In the novel "Nights of Tehran", her feminist thinking is presented in various ways. This article compares the author's views with some of the principles of woman-centered tendencies to determine the beliefs of the woman-centered tendency in Alizadeh's novel "Tehran Nights". In this novel, the authoress examines the underlying pain of women and proposes solutions to the problem of repressing women. Although she opposes patriarchy in this novel, she does not reject parenthood. Emphasizing the education and employment of women and the legal equality of men and women, she endorses marriage with commitment and agitation. And unlike Western feminism, she considers religiosity to be a source of peace and security for the human heart. Given these cases and expressing the peace of believing people and the inner evolution of one of Behzad's characters and Alizadeh's positive attitude towards worship and religiosity, she can be considered a pro-Iranian feminist who, while endorsing religion, calls for changes in the laws on equality for women and men.

Keywords : Ghazaleh Alizadeh; Woman-centered tendencies; Islamic (Iranian) Feminism.
