A Contrastive Study of Violence against Women in «Daughter of Dust» and «Koli Kenar-e Atash» (Gypsy by the Fire)

''Contrastive Literature'' is an efficient way to study similarities of literary works from different cultures of the world. ''Violence against Women'' is one of the main keywords of ''feminism'' which shows ''gender'' is the reason of all cruelties against women in different societies. Violence against women, which is being controlled directly or indirectly by men, occurs in two aspects: general and private. In this study the theme of violence against women is studied and analyzed in two novels, i.e. “Daughter of Dust” and “Koli Kenar-e Atash”: ''physical-psychological violence'', ''sexual-psychological violence'', ''psychological violence'', and ''economic violence''.
The main reason for the persistence of this violence is keeping silence, assent, and absence of protest against violence.
