 Although the term lifestyle is a product of the modern world, due to its great importance in the social, political and cultural body of human societies and the resulting basic feedback, countless thinkers and theorists have paid attention to it and in the fields. Various societies, such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, medicine, and cultural studies, have studied this phenomenon. One of these theorists is Alfred Adler, who is considered to be the first lifestyle theorist. Adler"s approach to life is psychological. This article examines the lifestyle in the poems of Forough Farrokhzad and Simin Behbahani with an approach to Adler theory. The main question of the present study is whether the lifestyles of Forough and Simin correspond to the components of Adler and whether they have been able to achieve their own lifestyle?

 This research was conducted in a descriptive-analytical manner using library studies.

 By examining the most important components of lifestyle including social interactions, feelings of inferiority, old memories and dreams in Adler"s theory, and its adaptation to Forough and Simin"s poems, we came to the conclusion that Forough and"s lifestyle Simin fits almost all of Adler"s components, and as modernist and modernist women she has been able to achieve her own lifestyle.

 Compared to Forough, Simin in his poetry raises more social concerns and deals more with people and their problems. Simin"s personality type is often socially beneficial, while Forough represents each of the four types. In fact, the individual self is more prominent in Forough"s words and the social self in Simin"s poetry. Also, religious elements and components are more prominent in Simin"s poetry.
