This article intends to bring up criticisms leveled against the science of traditional history and official historiographies, from in between epistemological studies of the feministic plilosophy of science, and achieve the reconstruction of an unofficial historiography from the viewpoint of feminists.Hence, the question raised by this research is posed as such: from a feminist point of view, what are the criticisms brought up against historical studies and traditional historiographies, and what kind of a science will the feminist science of history and historiography be in the future?This article has been compiled in the realm of knowledge and science based on a critical approach and with the objective to analyze and study the content of the claims of the feminist movement and in particalar its epistemological branch. The feminist epistemology and philosophy of science deal with the formation of various sciences with a feminist approach. The feminists have either said nothing about the science of history and historiography or what they have said and written is so little that can be dismissed as negligible. Therefore, this investigation, through the model proposed by feminists in the fields of knowledge and science, tries to take a look at the science of history and historiography from a feminist point of view.This research intends to bring to the attention of the learned women of the Iranian society the dimensions and challenges of epistemological feminism and prove to them that it is in their interest to try to acquire a better understanding of their own history and culture that will ultimately bring them a better future rather than deal with those issues that are irrelevant to women within the Iranian – Islamic culture and civilization.
