1.    Introduction
1.1 Doris Lessing
    Doris Lessing (1919- ) was born in Kermanshah, Persia, now Tran. Her father lost a leg in World War I while her mother was a nurse who admired the life of the middle class. In 1924, her parents could not resist the temptation of profitable corn, and then they moved from Persia to distant Rhodesia in Africa with Doris and her brother Harry. Doris Lessing spent her childhood on a farm where she experienced a kind of early freedom from the confinements of the female role which gave her lifelong independence of mind (Pichering 1990). Although they were eager to make a fortune, the one thousand acres of farm eventually could not bring them expected wealth because of his father’s poor management. And the family was in the difficulties of money.
