Women as social creatures are born and grown up in human society. But in those societies with certain traditions and patriarchal laws, they are accepted as “second sex”. Restrictions, discrimination and violence against women have considerably reduced their social activities. These issues have been proven not only to be a serious obstacle in their progress, but also they have made them more creative, which has turned them to lasting faces.
