Abstract

Abstract
Mohammad Ibrahim Bastani Parizi is a researcher who has studied and analyzed the role and function of women in Iran history more than other contemporary historians. In addition to evaluating and reporting on the stories of famous women, he has considered on aspects of women's presence in history that may have been hidden or ignored by other historians. In various articles and books, he has dealt with the role of women and the impact of their presence in society. Compared to other historians of his time, he has shown more attention to women in his historiography. The purpose of this article is to explain and analyze Parizi’s view regarding to women’s status in his historical works through a descriptive-analytical method and based on data taken from library sources. The findings of this study show that in association with the position of women in his works the good and positive image of women is superior to its negative aspect. Compared to his other works, in his collective work known as "Hafti", the role and position of women have been mentioned more. In addition to consideration on women’s role in society, he has also paid attention to their cultural role in his works. He pays special attention to their role in the family as well as women's economic power. He has sought the role of women in political events as behind-the-scenes and also motivating factors for men in their important political decisions.
