Abstract
Sharing between men and women in the system of existence, continuity of social life and value-legal principles are the main concepts of Islam and the differences are only related to the field of gender differences, and for this reason, the history of Shiism has witnessed the presence of many women in the social and cultural field. In the present era, three currents of Islamic traditionalism, Islamic modernism and Islamic civilizationism are expressed as the most important intellectual currents in the Islamic context, each of which has a different approach to the presence of women. Therefore, this research seeks to answer these questions: Did women play a role in the intellectual and cultural developments of the Islamic society during the time of the Imams (peace be upon them)? And according to the existing restrictions at that time, what was the model of their activity and their influence? And which current of thought is suitable for it? The current research, using the descriptive-analytical method, aims to extract the educational-cultural activity of women during the time of the Shia imams and to express the flow corresponding to it in the present era in a way that responds to the requirements of the time. The results indicate the approval of the Islamic civilization model in the character of imams in the face of women's activities.
