Considering these characteristics, more than fifteen thousand posts from five professional female Instagram users underwent qualitative content analysis, and their core values were enumerated based on phenomenological principles in three domains: a - reflexivity, femininity, will to change, and striving for cultural capital as values of their individual world; b - companionship, egalitarian beliefs regarding husband and motherhood as values of their collective world; and c - participation and consumption management as values of their worldly existence.
The present writing, by examining the written content of these pages, provides a view of the lived life and experience of female users in the roles of wife and mother, which, according to researchers, is a call for more pervasive and profound social changes in the status of women and also gender relations in the near future.
These individuals, as professional Instagram users, by presenting their lives and shaping the space for discussion and opinion, have been able to create an extensive social network including a large number of their die-hard followers; followers who not only in cyberspace but also in real space engage in the exchange of communicative messages while interacting with them.
