Iranian women have been striving to play a part in the press since the late Qajar period, and despite attacks from some fundamentalist forces, they continued to write. They were aware of the power and influence of the press among the masses and wanted to use this medium to bring their social concerns to light. These women attempted to achieve this important objective through various forms such as critical articles, poetry, stories, translations, and more. Nonetheless, the story format, which was a modern form, attracted the attention of many female writers to the extent that statistics show it was the second most popular format among the first-generation female storytellers. Up until 1941 (1320 in the Iranian calendar), Delshad Changizi was the writer who produced the most short stories among women. Over thirteen years of publishing the magazine Alef Nisan, she wrote fifty short stories that were published in this magazine. Delshad Changizi addressed many social issues in her works. But which of these issues has the highest frequency in her writings?
