Abstract
The analysis shows that Sadr moved satire beyond male-dominated topics and introduced women's issues and everyday concerns. Criticism of official political discourse, press censorship, and the humorous redefinition of common political terms are the three main themes of her satirical articles.
The article form, with 41 percent, is the most frequently used form in her work. By entering the "most serious" form of writing, she distances herself from reader expectations, and most of her specific techniques are concentrated in this form.
Sadr's innovation can be summarized in three areas: introducing women's issues into article writing; using formal forms such as articles and reports; and inventing linguistic techniques like word formation, violation of citation methods, colloquial language in formal texts, false statistics, and rhetorical devices such as contrast, exaggeration, ironic metaphor, and irony.
The study shows that these tools critique official discourse, expose its contradictions, and reveal hidden violence in the language of power. Sadr's innovation lies not in inventing new techniques, but in their innovative combination within the article
