The sociopolitical, economical and educational transformations of the 1950s and 1960s under the Pahlavi regime provided an enabling context for advancing women’s legal status in Iran. This study critically examines the involvement of female representatives in the twenty-third session of the National Assembly, focusing on their legislative influence regarding women's rights. Framing its inquiry around the question of how women's parliamentary presence shaped the formulation and adoption of gender-related legislation, the research employs qualitative content analysis of official legislative records and parliamentary debates. Findings indicate that women legislators contributed substantively to policymaking in the areas of education, employment, and family welfare, while also expanding their roles within specialized committees. Nonetheless, entrenched structural constraints, prevailing sociocultural norms, and political resistance continued to obstruct the comprehensive realization of women’s rights. By addressing an overlooked dimension in the historiography of gender and governance in modern Iran, this study offers the first focused, evidence-based rights of women's parliamentary assembly during this legislative term.
