The subject of the study deals with the search for "Biography of women in Iraq" proceeding from the fact that this topic highlights an important aspect of the literary and cultural product of Iraqi women, that is represented by autobiography, which is especially important in the modern age for it can introduce information on the lives of people and communities throughout important multiple historical periods, this autobiography side with the official history which is written by the authorities away from the people's pulses and pains that are often obscured, therefore this study comes to cast the light on important aspect of these biographical works and sought to expose the side of women's contribution in this area.In culture, the importance of biography subject, that is considered as literary art, which found its way, expanded and published in the Arabic culture in general and it scored success records in writing personal and public history for writers of biography and in different styles, so this topic has been chosen after reviewing a number of topics. And after researching, we found that studying feminine biography is very importance. The importance of this literary art in academic studies for the time being is because these biographies offer live testimonies for important historical areas. This claim can be confirmed by the large number of biographies which is printed daily worldwide and the global demand for acquiring this type of writing, so Ilooked for Iraqi woman to find where she put her footstep in this area and found that there is no academic study devoted to tracking the feminine product of biography in Iraq, while this biography reserves a paramount importance as a cultural and civil indicator of the developmental process of the Iraqi society progress with the beginnings of the woman's movement, which has devoted its efforts in the field of women's rights to teaching and education, which later on developed into a participation of women in political conflicts, and the witness on the historical stages experienced by Iraq starting from the Ottoman occupation, the royal area of Iraqi history and the struggle against dictatorial authority down to events of the years after 2003.Finally, the study aimed to reveal the reality of Iraqi woman in addition to the disclosure of the reality of writing the feminine biography in Iraq, as it is described as a part of the Iraqi cultural reality.The frame of the study dealt with 11 biographies of Iraqi women, whether the biographies are written by a man, an Iraqi woman or by non - Iraqi hands, they are all considered within the framework of the women's biography.Hence the research was divided into introduction and preface which dealt with women biography and awareness of writing.The research discussed writing biographies for a number of Iraqi women writers in an effort to disclose the presence of women Iraqi writers who wrote biography in a way that makes writing a biography is common in Iraqi culture, trying to present the problems with that type of biographies in a time with too many types which helped in putting a different pathway between men biographies and women biographies, through which women tried to get their freedom. - The first chapter (from the body to self), dealt with the status of Iraqi woman previously and how she was treated and how she sought to have an identity, in addition to the application on some biographical models. - The second chapter (feminine point of view), dealt with the narrator and how he became an external narrator once, internal or aware narrator at another time, which had been applied in some biographical models. May be the motive that made me stand on the concept of point of view and the narrator, even though they are criticizing point of views on which had been talked about with prolixity, is tendency of writing in the text of women biography, while she is trying to hide in order to narrate her biography in different styles, including what it contains of confession, taboo, and confusions, so that the narrator took an active role in narrating divertive texts of biography. - The third chapter (maps and concept of place in the women's biography), dealt with the place in terms of being locked or open which was shown that through the application on some biographical models. Finding that the place is the most predominant in this biography because of its relation with the woman who is a result of eastern culture which makes her prisoned in a closed place.The most prominent finding which our research reached is that the Iraqi woman possessed an identity. And proved her presence and became side by side with the man completing him , not behind or following him.
