Gender identity and its reflection in modern Iranian culture (the case of the ghazal “Oh woman” by Simin Behbahani)

The author is revealing the problems of women's identity in Iran through a cultural analysis of the poem “Oh Woman” by Simin Behbahani. The study of the aesthetics and topics of works written by women allows us to touch the deep meanings of the consciousness of Iranian women, to realize the ways of preserving the national culture and traditional mentality, which are in a delicate balance with their increasing involvement in various professional relationships, that significantly expanded the boundaries of the feminine worldview. Studying the formation of new cultural realities created in these relationships allows a deeper understanding of the Eastern literature and culture, and can also contribute to intercultural dialogue. Small number of works on the study of the problematics of the concept of female identity in Iran and modern Iranian culture, the lack of Russian translations of the poetry collections of Simin Behbahani, the insufficient study of her role in the formation of a feminine worldview and creativity in a culturological key determine the relevance of the problem.
