The author of “a person like him/her”? explained about how the book “hidden half of a myth”? has been written; plan of interview with Jila Badihian-wife if Ebrahim Hemmat- was presented in Kaman journal for the first time. The journal began its activity since 1375 until 1383 by publishing 200 numbers with executive editor of Hedaiatollah Behbodi and editor-in-chief of Mortaza Sarhangi. Interview with wife of the martyr Hemmat, before publishing as a book, was published in the first tow numbers of the journal.

About the reason of selecting the title for his book he said; on the one hand commanders are legend and they are known for all people and on the other hand what meant by “hidden half”? is to study the character of the martyrs from their husbands’ viewpoints.

Comparing women poets’ works of post and pre-Revolution, this poet of sacred defense added; by comparing poetry of pre-Revolution women, we see some persons who speak of such issues as eye and heart and earthy love and reflect their limitations in their poetries. Some of these works may be very well in structure but they are in lowest level by content.
Baigi stated; after the revolution, women poets have an outstanding part in literature. To create noble poetry is what in mind of post revolution poet women. Iranian women played an active role on the war front and revealed their Zainabian sense in their artistic works.

According to Baigi, mysticism, epic, martyr, love, martyrdom, triumph praying, Quran, Fatemeh, Maryam, and Zainab are among keywords that are used by women in sacred defense verses.

After the lecture of the poet Reza Reisi author of “war reporter”?, emphasizing the issue that the martyrs’ wives and mothers still suffer from the war, explained; when issue of the martyrs’ families bring about we content ourselves to sloganeering. The martyrs’ wives have never been considered independently. It is our duty to introduce women active in imposed war with their own identity.
He suggested the authors to express internal aspects and human relationships in war and said; many of the war truths reveal after passing time. We would be defeated if we simply appeal to feeling on war issue.
