Abstract
In different societies, gender identity functions as a social construct, within different groups, at a level beyond biological differences. Gender plays an influential role in redefining social distinctions, roles, and functions. The representation of gender in traditional societies is an issue that can be seen through historical texts. research is to study the status of women in the political system of the Timur era. The findings of the research showed that gender and gender identity in the Timurid era were influenced and influenced by the tribal and patriarchal system. Since the beginning of Timur's rise, women have been present in the social arena without gender discrimination in the midst of wars. Therefore, their identity was formed alongside men and within the tribe.This made their function in the political-military arenas more visible.The Timurid government structure, which was based on marriage with women from important tribes, created an opportunity for women's strategies, from warfare to politics and even intercession, to be successful for the peace and prosperity of the tribe and the government.Despite gender discrimination, they were able to demonstrate their power in the patriarchal society of the Timurid era and within the Timurid apparatus through feminine mechanisms and the manifestation of feminine elegance.
In this study, only the era of Timur, the founder of the Timurid dynasty, has been specifically addressed.
