Abstract

"Women's Writing" is a significant approach to feminist criticism. This approach is a distinct female narrative element of male writing, which is the difference in the application of emotional vocabulary, more use of colored phrases, oaths, principles of procrastination and losers and syntactic characteristics such as the use of prayer sentences (curses and prayers), Descriptive sentences, questional sentences appear in the form of self-esteem, short and simplified sentences. Contents and issues such as historical affliction of self-confidence, and misandry, self-discovery, life concerns & overcoming of romantic love are also from feminine content. Nasim Marashi in Haras and Hanan al-Sheikh, Lebanese female writer, in Beirut Blues, have different angles of war and human relations in the war condition and in particular position of women in the family and society. In the present study, in a descriptive analytical method and with a comparative approach of the female narrative of the war, compared in these two novels, while describing the effect of war on women's lives and their gender restrictions in the patriarchal society, it was shown that female writers emphasized the terrible consequences of the war and based on their female spiritualities, expressing its affection and devotion, and they have never praised war. Both writers, by using emotional interpretations, of colored phrases, oaths and the emotional and praying sentences, and the simplicity and short sentences have considered contents such as historical affliction of self-confidence, and misandry, self-discovery, life concerns & overcoming of romantic love.
