}} The Wind-Up Doll is a poem by Forough Farrokhzad. AnalysisExamining Farokhzad’s poems enables us to understand the environment in which she lived in. “The Wind-Up Doll,” written in the time of the Pahlavi kings, conveys the psychological frustrations of women in a restrictive time where women were treated like objects and are suppressed. At the end of the poem, the speaker sarcastically says, “Ah, so happy am I!” At that time, the monarch himself decided for the condition of women. For example, once he ordered prohibiting the use of the chador by women in public in 1935 even though society still had traditional views regarding women. In the poem "The Wind Up Doll", Farrokhzad challenges the restrictive role of Iranian women and presents the thoughts and emotions of women seeking greater respect and rights. About the authorForough Farrokhzad (1935-1967) was one of the most influential Persian poets and is still the voice of women in Iran. She began composing poetry since she was 13 or 14. She married a man who was much older than her when she was 16 and divorced her husband soon after. Many of her poetries were focused on feminism and have remained important and significant after long time. Farrokhzad’s obsession with the society made her protest against the existing standards of living and that is why her poems have been banned since revolution of Iran in 1979. She was one of the first female poets who protested against inequality between genders and broke taboos in Iran. She died tragically in a car accident when she was only 32-years-old.
