Language is the place of manifestation and the connection point of subjective knowledge and objective experiences. Reflecting this idea in the field of story writing is considered as one of the fundamental elements. The field of story writing is an objective diagram of the gender identity of the work creator, which is different according to the psychological and linguistic experiences of women and men. Based on this, the present study tries to investigate the features of gender language in the novels Ahlam Al-Nazfa and Emraat fi Al-Khamsin by Haifa Bitar and Raehat  Al-Wurud and Nasit Ani Imraat by Ehsan Abdol Qoddus with the descriptive-analytical method, based on Elin's Showalter perespective, deals with both linguistic and psychological levels in order to show what psychological and linguistic aspects related to themselves have been used by these two writers in the creation of their novels based on their gender. The most important achievement of the research is that the author's gender has an effect on the words, thoughts, mental and emotional states, and the representation of the author's identity, as well as the creation of male and female characters in the story, and has created two different interpretations in such a way that every reader  finds out the gender of the author through the words used.
