This work was first shown in 1965 in Paris. Then the speaker of this webinar (Dr. Maryam Ghasemi) after introducing Molière's works stated that she has criticized and analyzed the issues of women and society with a sociological and anthropological approach. "In women scientists, Moliere has criticized and ridiculed all sections of society and paid special attention to the bourgeoisie and the loves of the time," she said. Dr. Ghasemi stated that Moliere portrayed women as free. The faculty member of the University of Tehran also added: "One of the characteristics of Molière's works is the creation of characters from women who lived in seventeenth-century French society." "Moliere's plays, while seemingly ridiculous, express deep and painful truths in human life," he said.
