Forough Farrokhzad is one of the most significant and controversial poets of modern Iranian poetry. Her literary legacy is a poetry of female protest and radical change in the world around her. Her appeal against corruption and abusive power structures in Iran is more relevant than ever in the context of the freedom movement against the Islamic Republic.
