That in some cases is suggestive of their states behaviors and thoughts and specified their identity aspects in Iran’s today society.Acts and manners which seems is the result of historical and social conditions in which a woman wants to free herself from historical and traditional chains dominated her mind and experiences ambiguous and unfamiliar identities.
