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.
