I Will Rebuild You, Oh My Homeland’: Simin Behbahani's Work and Sociopolitical Discourse
This article analyzes Behbahani's narrative and poetic works as they reflect different sociopolitical discourses over decades and discusses her contribution to the rise of new literary discourses in different periods.

The Politics of Writing in Iran: A History of Modern Persian Literature
Glimpses of Daily Life: Short Stories by Iranian Women: A Window to the Past and the Future: “Fenjan-e shekasteh” (The Broken Cup)
Simin Behbahani (B. 1927) is by far the most prominent woman poet of the last two decades. Her recent works manifest a sensitivity to feminist themes and adhere to a new notion of literary endeavor and a new ideology of representation that promote women's causes and gender equality. Her short story “Fenjan-e Shekasteh” (The Broken Cup), for example, brings to the fore the theme of love and man-woman relationships, thereby manifesting the author's…

In th…
