Abstract
What is observed in all periods of Persian poetry up to the Constitutional Revolution is the dominance of a general poetic trend with a completely manly atmosphere. The study and analysis of women's poetry in our literary history has been neglected. With the advent of the Constitutional Revolution and women's movement for their demands, women became more active in the social arena, but there was no significant evolution in the field of literature and women's poetry. After the Islamic Revolution and the opening up of the country's political and cultural space, women's poetry also acquired a distinct literary identity. This event became more apparent, particularly in the 1370s and 1380s (solar calendar) and in the wake of the reform movement. Identifying and analyzing the four patterns of rheology, that is, the study of the socio-political context, the supporting centers and circles, rule-making and theorizing, the starting point, continuity and its expansion, I have tried in this research to study the women's poetry of the 1370s as a poetic movement, emphasizing the poems of its two prominent representatives - Pantea Safaei and Fatemeh Salarvand. This research demonstrated that the strengthening of the reform movement in the political space of society and, consequently, the emergence of cultural and ontological changes, is considered the starting point and continuity of a literary movement that we call the poetry movement of the 1370s. The female poets of this movement cannot be considered entirely intellectual or revolutionary, but rather we are faced with female poets who have achieved a kind of literary-social moderation; namely they have numerous poems in the domain of the women's movement and feminist demands, as well as in the social critique, romantic, and religious domain.
