The years 2000-2010 made a period of fundamental changes in the dominant discourses of power in Iran. The rivalry between the two discourses of reformationsim and conservatism created a gap in the ruling hegemony and brought about the possibility for Iranian citizens to rethink their rules and functions in the society and to redefine their individual identities. One of the social groups among which the effects of these political and social changes can be observed is that of female writers. This study takes on to study six stories by three eminent female writers of the 2000s decade (Shiva Arastoui, Zoya Pirzad, and Fariba Vafi) with a critical discourse analysis approach. As the main result, this study demonstrates that the transformation of the ruling discourses of power and gender has had a direct effect on the points of view, narrative styles, and subjects of these stories. Employing the first-person point of view, and a female narrator indicates that women have gained a voice significantly more powerful than the past. Addressing issues regarding the problems and concerns of women from various social classes and using straightforward, linear narratives, female writers create a social awareness of the needs and situations of this minoritized gender and also attract a wider audience. On the other hand, as the change of the ruling discourses has had a direct effect on the works of female writers, the latter have, in turn, used writing as a social act and a means for applying their power in order to gradually change the discourses of power and gender through a critique of the existing gender stereotypes.

In this article, we examined how femininity is constructed in some Osoolgara (conservative) discourses in Iran. Hence, we tried to study two main conservative organizations such as the Women's Studies & Research Center, which is affiliate to Hozeye Elmiye (Seminary), and Social and Cultural Council for Women. In doing so, based on discourse analysis, we focused on these two association’ s statements and legislations in which we traced the process of feminine subjectivity formation. So, we paid attention to discursive mechanisms and tactics which are implicitly used in these materials. All in all, the results show that, women’ s representation centered on four axes: body, sexual desire, gender roles and cultural invasion. In addition, women are the subject of four discursive tactics namely considering female body as hysteric body, degradation or disrespect of women sexual desire, sanctifying the family and women’ s roles in family as a mother or wife, and rejection of the idea of western instrumental approach to the women. Accordingly, by identifying discursive tactics, we contend that, the dominant discourse of these two associations prioritize women’ s traditional roles which reinforce masculine domination.

But I turn the lamps off, illustrates cultural values of the Islamic revolution that highlighted family and separating of a feminine and masculine role as a preserver of discipline and integration of family and society.
