This research has considered the role of women in the fourth & fifth development plans of Islamic Republic of Iran regarding women's importance on development process using content analysis technique. Studying the women's position on the socio- economic, cultural and political plans of country is the main aim of this research. The position of women has been evaluated based on six factors including different variables. The weight of each index has been measured using Shanon Entropy Method.
