Literature, especially contemporary poetry, is a reflection of images and social concepts of its era. Although these images are brief or scattered; but with consideration and accuracy and by being together, it conveys the various manifestations of social issues and a deep analysis of society and literary works to the reader. This article tries to provide the basis for a better understanding of the reflected image of women in the works of these two contemporary poets, while comparing the image of women in the poems of Ahmad Shamlou and Hushang Ebtehaj, using a descriptive - analytical method and collecting poetic documents. The aim of emphasizing on social concepts is in response to the main issue of what effect social changes and transformations have on poets' mind and consciousness to describe various phenomena, including women. As in the poems of Shamlou and Hushang Ebtehaj, their descriptions of women have emerged and appeared unique due to social concepts such as freedom, anti-oppression and love of humankind. The results of the research show that Shamlou was more comprehensive than Ebtehaj in his descriptions of women under the influence of social concepts.

Relatively good research on conceptual metaphor has been done so far in political, media and literary texts. In the present study, a conceptual metaphor has been studied in poetic texts. The main questions of the research are: What is the role of conceptual metaphor in constructing and selecting metaphors in Shamloo and Naderpour poems? Can it be accepted that metaphor is a tool to represent certain concepts such as gender in these poems? In this study, data are extracted from the poems of Ahmad Shamloo and Naderpour and analyzed based on the conceptual metaphor theory of Likaf and Johnson. The results show that there are different concepts including gender concepts in Shamloo and Naderpour poems, but the degree of sexuality in Shamloo poems is much more than Naderpour poems because the semantic context of war in the conceptual metaphors of Shamloo poems is more than Naderpour's poems. Therefore, the results indicate that the effective factors in constructing and selecting metaphors in gender poems are the poet's attitude and thought, his feelings and the social atmosphere of the poets' time, and of course the gender factor plays an important role in constructing and selecting metaphors.
