This document provides context about the Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad and analyzes some of her poems. It discusses her upbringing and early life experiences that influenced her poetry. Two of her poems, "The Captive" and "To My Sister," are analyzed in detail, examining themes of freedom and oppression of women in Iranian society at that time. A third poem "The Sin" is also discussed, which boldly addressed female sexuality and intimacy in a way that was controversial. Farrokhzad's poetry broke barriers as one of the first prominent female poets in Iran to bring such themes to the forefront.
