Critical Discourse Analysis in MahsaMoheb Ali's novel "Do Not Worry" from GenderPerspective
Abstract

The escape from male rigid structures in the evolution of history has been accompanied by ups and downs for women, and along with the changes in society, the situation of women has changed every decade.According to the circumstances, each author has taken a special position in this regard. Some women writers have reproduced gender ideologies, etc., whereas some have a critical attitude towards it, and a third group look for the foundation of a new plan.

The results of the present study show that the narrator's behaviors and speeches in protest against the patriarchal and patriarchal society are prevalent..
