Dealing with women's issues and their centrality in literary works is one of the important issues that has attracted the attention of many researchers in various social, cultural and literary fields during the last two centuries. Women-centered criticism or feminine criticism examines works created by women or about women in order to provide a specific framework for analyzing and explaining women's works. Elain Showalter, a feminist theorist, has proposed four biological, linguistic, psychological, and cultural approaches to criticize women. Among the mentioned approaches, the cultural approach deals with the society and the way women are viewed by the society and pays attention to the role of the society in shaping the work and activities of women. Therefore, the cultural level can be called a kind of sociological criticism; Because the conditions of the society in which the writer lives and hers position in interacting with people affect the content of hers work? The following article studies Sahar Khalife's novel "Aslofasel " with a descriptive-analytical method and relying on the woman-centered criticism and Elaien Showalter's cultural approach. To answer this question, what effect did the Palestinian society have on the thoughts and thoughts of Sahar Khalife in the thirties and forties of the 20th century and how was this effect manifested in her novel? The findings of the research show that in this novel, Sahar Khalife challenged the patriarchal society of Palestine by depicting the Palestinian society in the first half of the 20th century and the early years of the occupation of Palestine. And by dealing with factors such as forced marriage of women, deprivation of education and employment, concern for life and economic independence, hatred of being forgotten by women, etc, has condemned the domination of men over women. Therefore, the traditional Palestinian society of that day has left an impact on all dimensions and orientations of Sahar Khalife's thoughts In this novel, like hers other novels, she considered the domination of men over women as Israel's domination over Palestine and condemned it; In Caliph's thoughts and novels, woman is a symbol of homeland and land.
