She is celebrated in a plethora of publications every year in Iran and beyond. E'tesami is the only female poet who has remained part of the daily lives of people in her society for about a century. Her poetry appears in school curricula both before and after the Revolution of 1979. People use her poetry on social media, particularly in critical times. It is also used in public speeches by Ali Khamenei (r. 1989-present) the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic. This book engages with E'tesami in the transformational context of the early twentieth century in Iran to investigate the controversies around her identity as a popular female poet. It demonstrates that the reason for E'tesami's paradoxical popularity was not merely her gender, but the transgression of patriarchal Iranian-Muslim gender norms.Iranian Studies SeriesLiterary studies: generalthemaSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01919811LITERARY CRITICISM / FeministbisacshLITERARY CRITICISM / GeneralbisacshHISTORY / Middle East / IranbisacshIranfastIranSocial conditions20th centuryCriticism, interpretation, etc.Electronic books.
