The turbulent terrain of the female presence in both sports and art scenes echo their treacherous existence in each domain. It is apparent that the patriarchal system perceives both fields in a similar light, an observation likely applicable to virtually all domains. The frustrating consequence is readily visible in the economy of art and sports, with women being marginalized and allocated unequal portions. The imbalance is also evident in the number of female representations in museums, institutions, and sports complexes, thus extending to numerous other realms. This injustice, however, is not unique to Iran but rather a global construct. The works of Maryam Amirvaghefi focus on this share, the part she wants to have, in contrast to what she is given.
The discrimination shown by Iranians toward women's presence in the unsafe realms of arts, sports, and the economy brings these two fields much closer together. Before even dreaming of claiming their share, women artists or athletes have to battle their families, their fathers, and brothers to be able to even pursue any of these domains. A type of fighting against domestic patriarchy results in being trained and prepared to fight the institutionalized patriarchy within society and to win the rights they're entitled to.
