The most of the works written in the field of women's rights emphasize common elements such as violence against women, forced marriage, women's financial independence, women's self-objectification, and similar issues; But the novel "Al-Raviyat" written by Maha Hassan is a different and feminine novel that despite struggling with all these issues, tries to skip from these components to a different and effective paradigm in order to elevate the dignity of women and achieve a world according to their needs. Considering the capitals and abilities of women - who have been continuously oppressed and humiliated throughout history - the author says that informed women can spread the message of freedom to the whole world by promoting their awareness and knowledge. They should convey their desire to other women and to achieve this goal, they should write. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, in his theory of types of capital, - by referring to the habitus element - proposed the issue of cultural capital as an important factor in the achievement of symbolic power by individuals and groups and the reproduction of social classes. The current research aims to investigate the issue of writing as the cultural capital of women in the novel "Al-Raviyat" written by Maha Hassan and measure its effect on the reproduction of the social position of women in "Al-Raviyat" using a descriptive-analytical method. The research results show that bold women in "Al-Raviyat" achieve symbolic power by performing actions and deeds contrary to conventional habits and by producing knowledge and raising awareness, as well as by accumulating their writing capital and finally, they build a world according to their desire and away from any discrimination.
