Abstract: (201 Views)
Ecofeminism is a branch of feminist research that examines the relationship between women and the earth. This study is largely not unified and like feminism, is diverse and multifaceted; however, the common belief among different ecofeminists is that the exploitation of women and the earth by the ruling patriarchal system confirms this. In this research, using a qualitative analysis method and utilizing library and documentary studies, we have attempted to read the poems of Forugh Farrokhzad and Souad Al-Sabah based on the key components of ecofeminism and extract, classify, compare, and criticize its signs in the poems of these two poets. The findings of the research indicate that in the poetry of Forugh Farrokhzad and Souad Al-Sabah, there is a significant frequency of comparing women to plants. Some of these metaphors are rooted in culture and geography; however, others carry critical undertones as both female poets—either explicitly or implicitly—criticize the patriarchal system for its exploitation of both land and women. Ultimately, the concerns of these Eastern female poets regarding nature have led to parts of their poetry being interpretable through the lens of ecofeminist principles. Of course, in examining the examples, the points of difference between these two poets are also evident. Forugh Farrokhzad and Souad Al-Sabah have reflected the relationship between women and nature in a unique and personal way.
