Abstract :

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of contemporary Iranian and Palestinian poetesses in the persistence and resistance literature. The research universe included all the works of contemporary Iranian and Palestinian poetesses. The research sample subsumed the persistence and resistance literature of poetesses. The research design was descriptive-analytical. The data was obtained through library method and taking notes on index cards and based on pieces of poems by poetesses of Iran and Palestine. The issue of resistance and persistence was investigated and analyzed with themes such as struggle, patriotism, resistance and persistence, hostility toward enemy, martyr and martyrdom, etc. Findings showed that: the poetesses, by being influenced by the society circumstances and the consequences of political, social, cultural, etc. themes in their poems, had been able to obtain new experiences and achievements. And the result was the influential presence of contemporary poetesses, alongside with men combatants in the stronghold of poem and poetry in the field of resistance and persistence. Some elements of resistance and persistence in the poetry of Iranian and Palestinian women showed that they were able to play a wide and important role in their society through literature and poetry, and through it, to address the important issues of their country. The poems of Iranian and Palestinian female poets were considered as emotional and roaring themes of resistance and stability. The poets of both countries have considered their homeland dear and have also expressed their religious manifestations in their love for their homeland.
