Gender and class discriminations from Parvin Etesami’s view

Abstract

Parvin Etesami is a poet who artistically used Persian poetry in order to criticize the status quo of the society and express its deficiencies. Her Divan (collection of poems), which is her only heritage for us, is teeming with debates, allegories, sarcasms with social themes. This article deals with sociological investigation of the social and class discrimination from her point of view. In addition, the social and political conditions of her time are discussed. Also, her ideas about women and her theory on women’s emancipation and fighting against oppression are explained through her works.
