An examination of the subject of “Woman” in poetic discourse of Boshra Bustani

Abstract

Language has long been associated with social issues, and it is impossible to establish a relationship between the two. In fact, the emphasis on the social context of critical discourse analysis shows the inseparable connection. The subject of woman as the most important social issue has been given great attention in the works of thinkers, Boshra Al-Bustani, for example, is known for her study on the issue of women. In her poems, she defends the human rights of women. She rejects patriarchy and the culture of death of women while seeking a balance and equality between men and women. In her poem, Boshra applies expressive language mixed with tradition in order to show her ideology. Moreover, she is looking for change by using functional words and technical illustrations.
