Document Type : مروری

Abstract

Lady Alamtaj Ghaemmaghami, also known as Zhaleh, is one of the poets of the late Qajar period and the early Pahlavi period. During the social conditions after the constitutional movement, she expressed her libertarian beliefs about women's freedom and their lost rights in the society. Zhaleh's life has been full of suffering and boredom, and her poetry also narrates her personal life and her relationship with her husband, her sufferings in being away from her children, and her feelings towards her parents etc. She deals with various issues, such as the treatment of men towards women, the issue of hijab, divorce, polygamy, the condition of widows, marriage, and generally the position of women in society. Zhaleh is the first poet who has introduced such ideas into the poetry domain of Persian literature, and by introducing these ideas, she has taken a big step in the service of women's literature.
