Women, as half of the society’s population, have significantly influenced society and politics through their social and political activism. Accordingly, the aim of the present research is to analyze the representation of women's social-political activism in two historical television series, "The English Briefcase" and "Lady of the Leader." These two selected series depict two important periods in the past century of Iranian history, in which women’s roles are also highlighted. This study employs the Greimasian narrative analysis method. The findings indicate that in both series under examination, the social class of women is the most influential factor in their political and social actions, although the dominance of a patriarchal societal structure over women’s agency is evident. While both series emphasize women's influence on politics, the role of men behind the scenes, both overtly and covertly, is also represented. The women depicted in these series have played significant roles in resisting foreign influence in critical moments of Iranian history through the use of their agency. However, in the series "Lady of the Leader," the agency of the series' historical character (Bibi Maryam) is more prominently and effectively portrayed in confronting the oppression and injustice imposed on the people by both domestic officials and external colonialists. Considering Bourdieu's concept of converting cultural capital into other forms of capital, particularly economic and social capital, the main female characters in both series, who were born and raised in upper-class families, had access to education and various skills, including learning the contemporary sciences of their time and even knowing a language other than Persian. Both characters, based on their familial status and the cultural and economic capital they possessed within their families, enjoyed a high social standing, which is clearly depicted in both series.

today's world, media has become the most important tool in creating and conveying meaning. As one of the most important agents of socialization, television is a conduit for representing the cultural, social and political values of societies. Behind the simple scenes shown in movies and TV series, there is a system of signs and codes that creates and conveys meaning, and based on this, the audience is faced with the representation of reality by the media. The aim of the current research is to investigate the role of women in the contemporary political history of Iran by analyzing several popular TV series after the Islamic Revolution. Using John Fiske's method of semiotics, four television series have been investigated in the 4 decades after the Islamic Revolution to study television's meaning making of women's social and political activism in contemporary history. The findings of the research show, 1- The television media has shown the base and social class and the level of literacy as the most important factors affecting women's political activism. 2- Awareness, awareness, resistance and standing of women and even rebellions Internal and external factors, even if it is their spouses, when the homeland is in danger, has been well portrayed in the television media. 3- The dominance and dominance of the authoritarian structures of men and the traditional fabric of Iranian society, which is one of the most important challenges for The entry of women into different fields of politics is also discussed in the national media.​

The purpose of the current research is to analyze the representation of women's political activism in historical series broadcast on the Islamic Republic of Iran in the fourth decade after the revolution (1390-1400) using a qualitative method of Grimas narrative analysis. According to the purpose of the research, two serials "Tabriz Dar Meh" and "Banoi Sardar" in which women were the main characters of the film and social and political actors were selected and analyzed. The female political activists in these series were between 20 and 40 years old. Both the main female characters of the series are from the upper social class. The socio-political action of women in these series has been a reflection of the political and social structure of the internal government, and the involvement of Western governments in Iran's internal affairs. This representation of women's political action in many categories (themes), including in the speech of the characters in the series (dialogues), in the tools used by them (horses and weapons), participation in political and social affairs, creates Social cohesion and solidarity, social acceptability, defense of religious values ​​and ideals, establishing social justice and creating social change in the society of its time are well displayed. With the investigations carried out in the current research, the representation of women from the lower classes of the society, who played an essential role in the social-political events of the history of Iran, has not been taken into consideration.

Women's participation and role-playing in society is obvious and necessary, and the discussion of how this presence without interfering with the principles, values, and other gender roles and dimensions is the concern of thinkers and policymakers and one of the reasons for the lack of successful entry of women in entrepreneurship. And effective mapping of the field of thought and theorizing and errors in theoretical studies have been produced, so a critical approach to its theoretical accumulation should be taken., the main issue of the present study is what are the key challenges and shortcomings in the field of women's entrepreneurship studies And by examining the existing theoretical literature, and their comparative and critical analysis, can policy indications be provided to policymakers, theorists, and decision-makers in the field of entrepreneurship to address indigenous considerations and prevent existing problems in women's role in development? the method of comparative-critical analysis was used and identified. Existing literature on deficiencies in theorizing methods; Facing the problem of role conflict for women; Problem solving inequality of access to facilities and opportunities; And the lack of economic and social context for women entrepreneurship has suffered and Therefore, in the efforts of theorizing and decision-making, it is necessary to be realistic, interdisciplinary, historical, avoid formalism and abstract literature independent of the requirements of time and place, and emphasize empiricism and case studies and development studies. Consider the fundamentals and values for redefining women's entrepreneurship, and the production of metrics and indicators in future research and decision-making.
