The concept of body was focused on because it referred to a contextincluded in interest of power, and it could be reconstructed forms againand again in an observable manner. The present study examined the “ÂL”Magazine was published a year ago year. The main reason for the selectionof the “ÂL” Magazine was that it reflected the modernization process ofthe conservative female identity. In addition, the present study intended todemonstrate how the Magazine represented the stage which the conservativefemale identity had reached in participating in the public life after the 1980s.A distinctive characteristic of the ÂL Magazine is that it attempts to makethe perception of “manhood opening a space for themselves by usingpolitical power” -a frequently constructed perception in the conservativetradition- inconsistent with the spaces they open for themselves. Accordingto the present study, the conservative female image bears neoconservative andneo-capitalistic traces while the conservative female identity tries to take itselfout of the male power within the triplet of aesthetics, admiration, and beauty.
