Abstract
Woman as a symbol of divine Beauty in Imam Khomeini`s thought has a close connection to some high concepts such as freedom, chastity, dignity, the origin of the good, bravery etc. and she has a major influence on the destiny of herself and her society. The woman in the thought of Imam Khomeini (pbuh) not against the man, but beside him, has a significant responsibility in all aspects of personal, social and political life. Aside from a short period in the early Islam, when her true dignity was revived by the Prophet and his family (pbut), the woman was deprived of her true status in all other eras. Findings of this survey shows that Imam Khomeini’s points of view concerning the presence of the woman in the society in two different era of Pahlavi and after Islamic revolution are totally different. In the time of Pahlavi, this presence was not desirable because of the situation of that period, like hijab prohibition, which made it impossible for women to reach their real status. But the revolutionary movements of women during the formation of Islamic revolution of Iran and imposed war are considered blessing. The attribute of Imam Khomeini had an impressive influence on the social presence of women after revolution. This paper assessing the identity and dignity of the Muslim woman from the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini (pbuh) and the result of such attribute on the social presence of women in various aspects by giving real examples in this respect.
