Abstract

The female experience of writing brings with it one of the richest passages for today's literary criticism: that of female poetry, which is poetry without more, poetry without which literary history cannot be understood. Feminine freedom –notion and matrix of the thought of experience– opens the critical horizon allowing other knowledge and experiences to enter it to read the history of literature. History that has changed in the light of feminism showing how the experience of language and writing also teaches the cut of the feminine difference. Difference persecuted and almost neutralized by culture, which, when freely attended to, puts into orbit another relationship with reality. Feminine freedom, a notion born in the light of the Italian thought of sexual difference, allows a free listening and reading of the experience that some authors have put into play, among them, the Iranian poet Forugh Farrojzad, whose work is key to understanding the contemporary Persian poetry.
