Abstract
One of the important implications of contemporary literature is reflection of people and the culture of human life showing human as an integral part of the story; therefore, attachment of human culture to people has entered this literary form. Some parts of this culture include traditions and superstitions as well as social, religious, and medical customs and another part includes language and local dialects and songs, poems, proverbs and games. Modern woman writers are those who pay special attention to their culture, their works portray human relations with culture showing that appropriate or inappropriate use of this culture in education and human life in the story is rooted partly in real society; on the other hand, it becomes apparent that sometimes the content is a mask on hidden thoughts and intentions of the author helping her create a more artistic and sometimes more complex work. Of course, given the sex and insight of the author, as well as context and setting of the story, the way these contents are presented mat vary, an issue which can be examined.
