I would also invite Forough Farrokhzad, who was an influential Iranian poet and film director. She was a controversial modernist poet, writing from a female point of view in conservative Iranian society at the time. She was unafraid to defy backwards attitudes about her gender. She said once, “What is important is humanity, not being a man or a woman.” Throughout her life, she struggled with how her gender affected the reception of her work in a culture where women were often confined to traditional roles. She died in a car accident in 1967 at 32, but her poems are still very popular among the next generations.
