Abstract

In the past few decades, there have been significant global changes that have led to a decline in the appeal of the conventional female image and have sparked a sense of uncertainty over the compatibility of traditional and contemporary gender roles. Numerous studies have been conducted in the realm of women's identity within the context of Iran. To have a comprehensive understanding of the difficulties and strategies, as well as to identify the existing research gaps within this discipline, it is imperative to engage in secondary reading. The objective of the present study is to conduct a systematic review of the scholarly literature pertaining to the topic of women's identity in Iran during the 2000s and 2010s. Initially, a total of 421 quantitative and qualitative studies were identified through a systematic search. Following the application of predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final selection of 67 relevant and reliable studies was made.
