Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of women and their role in literature of Qajar era in classic religious schools. We have selected seventy fairy tales from popular folk tales in the Qajar era. The conceptual model of this research is a combination of literary and sociological theories as well as qualitative research method and content analysis. After reading the textual body and extracting the data, we used the conceptual model of the study to examine the actions of women in the stories. The aim was to explain the various roles of women in stories. The findings show that considering the predominance of masculine discourse and gender-biased mentality, the political and social role of women in stories is prominent and their cultural, educational, and legal roles are very limited. The rest of the women's roles are located these two maximum and minimum poles.
