Abstract

In the constitutional era, the Persian poetry knew new poetry implications in the side of the old content defined by the Persian literature in previous eras. This is why we call this era, the era of radical change in the old contents. Familiarity with the western literature, political and social developments in Iran, enlightenment, tyranny, internal and external colonialism are among the factors that play an active role in this regard. This, in turn, has affected the lives of women in Iran not limiting its impact to the political and social life. Therefore, Iranian women knew their place in Iranian society and tried to get involved in the Iranian society and the defense of the homeland. This article tried to study poetic divans for Iranian women poets and look for the content of poetry in this regard. Considerable attempts of Iranian women to defend their homeland, their awareness of their place in the real Iranian society and the change in women’s attitude towards men are among the most important issues, and their reflections in the poems women poets in the constitutional era have been analyzed.
