Abstract
One of the most recent contributions to literary criticism is the establishment of the subgenre of women's literature and women's criticism, which in the last two or three decades has come to dominate a sizable portion of the field of literary and critical studies. One of the most crucial concerns in this method has been the effort to identify women's writing and the investigation of the contrasts and similarities that emerge between these two categories. In this respect, Elaine Showalter's idea is all-encompassing. The theory of critical feminism or the women's writing tradition is the best and most comprehensive effort to understand women's writing accurately and efficiently. Three steps and four factors that he spoke about in his hypothesis have been verified using this factor, he said. This article uses Showalter's four factors—life-cognitive, cultural, psychoanalytical, and linguistic—to analyze the dominant style of writing in Nasim Marashi's well-known work “Autumn, the last season of the year.” The study's overarching goal is to pin down Marashi's distinct literary voice as a woman and the uncovering of her rich literary heritage. Findings from this study indicate that Marashi's novel's narration owes its distinctive tone and style to the novel's context, structure, and coordinates. Guys stand out in a crowd. The explorer is slow and feminine in her approach; she is also partial. As the story's narrator, she is a perceptive and feeling lady with difficulties and concerns of her own.
