In general, the effect of non-cognitive categories in knowledge and other categories like language is the important problem of epistemology. According to feminism, one of these categories is gender which feminists reproduced as a cultural and social meaning (not biological and physical one). This study through a library research based on description, analysis and with a critical approach analyzes the feminist interpretation of gender and its relation with language and the effects of their interaction on teaching and education and the guidelines they have given in the field of language teaching.
