The present article aims to identify the political and social dimensions of women's activism in contemporary social change in Iran and seeks to examine their political participation during the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic Republic based on existing documents. Revolutionary posters are a type of political poster that contain features and visual elements related to the nature of the changing of this period. Regarding the few works available on the subject of women's participation in the Islamic Revolution, researchers have analyzed the semiotics of the eight accessible posters. Methodologically as a qualitative research it used social semiotics with a focus on the social meaning and based on Van Leeuwen's three-dimensional representations. Women's political participation is represented in the form of participation in demonstrations and elections in posters. Although compared to men in terms of quantity, we face a lack of presence, but women in the central positions of the poster, drawn alongside men. The posters contain signs of Islamic ideology, including the hijab, as well as the role of motherhood and intimacy with martyrs, and evoke the role of mother-woman. Therefore, it can be claimed that the posters of the revolution contain indications of new gender relations at this time. In other words, the combination of semantic levels in general shows how the Muslim woman fighter in the revolutionary space and as a social active actor under the supportive stands of the revolutionary leader, regardless of gender stereotypes, has the opportunity to participate politically.

Women's Political Participation in the Islamic Revolution; A Semiotic Analysis of Revolutionary Posters Somayeh Sadat Shafiei 1* Date of Receipt: 2021/01/20 Seyedeh Zahra Hosseini Far 2 Date of Acceptance: 2020/08/23 Abstract The present article is written with the aim of identifying the political and social dimensions of women's activism in the social changes of contemporary Iran and seeks to examine their political participation in the course of the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the establishment of the Islamic Republic system based on existing documents.
The memoirs of politically active women are full of awareness regarding the goals and revolutionary ideals 1, and their prominent presence in demonstrations, as evidenced by surviving images, indicates intellectual maturity and a desire to play a role in collective actions within the public sphere.
Nikkhah and Sotoudeh (1392), in their research regarding how the concept of woman as a human subject was formed in the Islamic Revolution, believe that parallel to the centralization of the signifier of overturning the political system, attributes such as social responsibility, self-awareness, independence and selectivity, religious rethinking, and courage have been re-created for women.
The image narrates aspects of labor protest; the clenched fists and the combination of black and red colors convey a socialist approach to the subject1, but the image of the Imam and the flag with "Allah Akbar" indicates the place of Islamic values and teachings in the political participation of this social group.
