Feminism in poetry discourse; A comparative study of Toghan and Forugh FArokhzad

This study aims at investigating female poetry discourse in two Iranian and Palestinian poets, more specifically, its relations between men, society, and social customs. The present study shows that these two poets were not influenced by the world in which they live but were honest and showed their self realities through adapting similes and metaphors from feminist approach.It also shows that they were pioneers of feminist poem movement. They used their artistic skill to support the women’s right. These poets’ challenges include violating customs and traditions, red lines, using symbolism, and expressing their pains and sorrows in this way. The traces of rejecting customs and relations are visible in their poems.Although they were not influenced by each other, we found some similarities between them through comparing their life conditions. Analytic and descriptive research design was used to compare, contrast, and analyze a variety of poems which are consistent with the feminism discourse. Then, the study was divided into four dimensions in terms of their life and poets namely a feminist approach to life; love and romance, numerous views of a woman, symbolism, and social challenges.
