Abstract
In modern literary studies, the emergence of gender theory and the question of the specificity of the female lyrical subject in the meaning of speech in the person of a woman is an understudied topic. In this paper, the female lyrical subject is examined in the poems of two significant poets, representative of Russian and Persian literature, Anna Akhmatova and Foroug Farrokhzad. In their poems, the female lyrical subject is creative, active, speaking and thinking. The comparative analysis is based on the description of similarities and differences between their lyrical subjects.
