The voice of women’s mind could be heard in their narratives of Sacred Defense

Masumah Ramhormozi, researcher of Sacred Defense literature, said about the role of women in Iran-Iraq War and dealing with it in literature: “Women’s memories of war are abundant in their inner feelings and emotions that accompany the reader. Ramhormozi, who herself had been bound to the Iran-Iraq war fronts as a rescuer, said to the reporter of Hoze Honari News Website: “Generally speaking, any subject which can explain one of the lesser known aspects of the war is required and will be welcomed; the role of women in war is one of them.” This writer and researcher continued about feminine’s narratives of war: “What distinguishes the women’s narrative of war is that their views not only don’t focus on combat and aren’t war-based, but the life is more attended to than the war. Life has high priority for women and even in total darkness, they are trying to see the bright spots which are existed; and this kind of look has special importance in the fight against the enemy.”
