Abstract
Islamic feminism is one of the movements that developed in reaction to the revival of political Islam post Islamic Revolution in Iran (1979). The present study attempts to seize the major nodal points around which this discourse has been formed. Using Margot Badran’s theory of the convergence of the secular and Islamic feminisms, this study also explains Islamic feminism in Iran as a country whereby filling the gap between the secular and the Islamic is rejected. It focuses on the analytical articles published by Zanan and Zanan-e-Emruz magazines, two major Islamic feminists' platforms, to highlight their answers to the modern existence of the Iranian women. The results indicate that the major discursive nodes include: a) women's Ijtihad and the re-interpretation of texts with a women-friendly outlook, b) human equality exempt from sexuality, c) demand for a conventional notion of justice, and d) recognition for women’s socio-political capacities vis-a-vis their family identities.
