 The aim of the current research is to investigate the deconstruction of the narration of women's characters in the Shahnameh and the rewritten texts narrated by Atusa Salehi. In deconstructive analysis, rewriting presents a new and fresh narrative by changing the center and centrality of the construction of the old work. In this research, it is shown how the presence of the omniscient and omniscient narrator in the rewritten stories is pale and a kind of change and deconstruction in women's narration is created through shifting the centrality and axis of the narration. The most important issue for deconstructive analysis is the use of contrasts hidden in the text; the contrast of love and affection with epic and war is one of the most prominent contrasts of this rewriting. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting information is the examination of library documents. The results of the research showed that Salehi presented a different narration of the women of Shahnameh and new dimensions of their personality with a creative narrative and using the contrast of epic, war and love. Where characters such as Gordafarid, Manijeh, Jarireh, Shahrnaz, etc. have a more effective and prominent presence in the narrative than in the original text, and their emotional and peaceful character prevails over their warlike and epic spirit. This new dimension and reading is suitable for the mood and personality of the teenage audience

So far, many books have been written for children’s  literature. Most of the writers of these stories have been male, but female writers have also begun writing stories in this field within recent years. Since men and women are physiologically different, the stylistic studies have concluded that the men and female use different way of writing. The stories adapted from Adults’ books particularly The Epics of Kings (Shahnameh) that children’s  literature are so pleased with it. Atusa Salehi and Asadollah Shabani are among the writers of children’s  literature who first adapted the stories of The Epics of Kings for these two age groups. In this research, two works adapted from the story of Forud from Ferdowsi have been chosen from one male and one female writers in order to present the effect of the   writer’s gender on the adapted work. This research is based on a descriptive-analytical method. The present research aims to contrastively scrutinize the characterization in the two selected works and display the similarities and differences caused by the effect of gender. Finally, it is concluded that gender affects adaptation. The gender of Atusa Salehi has given a famine ambiance to the story, while the male adaptor has given masculine ambiance to the whole story.
