چکیده:
The 'feminism' movement has formed with the aim of defending women's rights and has gone through many ups and downs. Among the issues that have come intensely into the focus of feminists is the position of the family and related issues. Radical feminists, with an anti-value perspective on marital relations, formal marriages, childbearing, commitment in marriage, etc., endanger the stability of families, especially in the modern world. In this regard, feminist writers, through the creation of fictional works with radical approaches, spread an anti-value mentality about the family and the issue of marriage among readers. The present article aims to examine and critique two Persian feminist novels with a pathological approach, emphasizing the position of women and the family. The selected works include 'The Dog and the Long Winter' by Shahrnush Parsipur and 'My Bird' by Fariba Vafi. The results show that the selected fictional works, by creating weak female characters, promoting extreme views against men, and questioning the issue of marriage and the value of the family, have not been able to help improve the position of women in the stories and, by separating them from their natural and social positions and roles, have caused female protagonists to suffer an identity crisis.

The results show that the selected fictional works, by creating weak female characters, promoting extreme views against men, questioning the issue of marriage and the value of the family's position, have not been able to help improve the position of women in the stories and, by separating them from their natural and social roles and positions, have caused the female protagonists to suffer an identity crisis.
A number of feminist writers, without regard to the influence of stories on the attitudes of male and female readers, engage in highlighting phenomena such as anti-masculinity, which challenges value concepts such as marriage and family, and ultimately it must be said that feminist fictional works throughout their turbulent journey up to today have not been able to bring any worthy achievement or human character of men and women as a gift to their readers.
Despite having a mother, sister, husband, and children, the narrator feels lonely and cannot establish emotional relationships with those around her; therefore, the author chooses avoidance of shared life and isolation from the family for her.
Novels such as "Dog and Long Winter," without considering the audience (especially youth), create female characters who, without regard for their value position and due to a lack of necessary awareness, see rebellion against norms and free relationships with men as the only way to achieve their desires; therefore, it is possible that the attitude of some readers - both women and men - towards the female sex may be shaped solely on the basis of a opportunistic and anti-value perspective.
