Abstract
In modern literary criticism, the emergence of gender theory in textual criticism and the study of the issue of the concept of a female lyrical subject is an important topic. In the present work, we consider the feminine lyrical subject in the poems of the great Iranian poet Parvin Etesami, in whose poems the feminine lyrical subject is creative, active, speaking and thinking. Parvin’s feminist views at the time she lived and in that society were unique; she, as a representative of all Iranian women, directly expressed the feminine point of view on many issues and where it comes from the person of a woman (the feminine gender is used in grammatical constructions) and with woman’s point of view. Such themes include women’s right to education, as Etesami openly discusses in her poems.
