Comments
"When we talk about an autobiographical text, we understand that we are dealing with a prose text. An autobiography is usually a long literary text in which the author narrates about himself or herself or his or her life. However, when we think about autobiography as a term, we find that it is possible to find references to it in poetry texts as well.
In this course, we will learn about autobiography in Arabic literature by reading women's poetry from the twentieth century. This poetry contains many of the life experiences of Arab women, especially the experiences they faced in patriarchal societies. Among the most important experiences that began to crystallize in Arab women's poetry during this time are cultural and political experiences, which we will address in our lessons.
