Novel, as one of the most important literary genres, reflects the social, cultural, psychological, and even discursive transformations of societies. In this article, with an adaptive approach, the narrative structure, literary techniques, and thematic content of two prominent contemporary novels are examined; «خانه ادریسیها» by Ghazaleh Alizadeh and «بیروت ۷۵» by Ghada Al‑Samman. These two novels are not only reflections of lived experience and identity of women in traditional and transitional societies of Iran and Lebanon, but also, relying on female narratives, critique patriarchal structures and identity crises of women in social, political, and cultural contexts. In this study, while analyzing structural elements such as point of view, characterization, language, symbolism, and space, key thematic content such as gender, women's social roles, confronting social and political changes, and identity challenges are examined. Moreover, with an interdisciplinary perspective, the indirect reflection of jurisprudential and ethical discourses related to women's status, concepts such as agency, limitation, social responsibility, gender justice, and the relationship between religious tradition and contemporary women's life in the narrative text is analyzed. The examination of these components shows how jurisprudential perceptions governing traditional societies, either overtly or covertly, play a role in shaping social relationships, norms, and the fate of female characters. The main goal of the research is to reveal the conceptual, literary, and discursive similarities and differences of these two works and to explain the role of women's literature in representing resistance, hope, and social challenges at the intersection of literature, culture, and jurisprudence. Findings show that both authors, with powerful and feminine insight, have managed to reflect various psychological and social dimensions of women within the context of historical, cultural, and jurisprudential transformations of their societies, providing a basis for deeper studies in the field of identity, gender, and the relationship between literature and religious thought.
