Parvin E'tesami's Life
The following is a short biography from Parvin E'tesami adopted from "A Brief Note on Parvin E'tesami's Life", by Iraj Bashiri:
Parvin E'tesami was born in 1907 in Tabriz, Iran. Her formative years were spent in Tehran where her family had moved and where she lived an extraordinarily simple and tranquil life close to her father, Yusif E'tesami (E'tesam al-Mulk). Here she gained her knowledge of the Arabic language and a solid grounding in Arabic and Persian literatures. Reportedly, she started composing poetry when she was eight years old.
You can download her couplets from here. If you want to search her poems, see here. I selected one of her great poems for you. I see a tight similarity between Parvin's life and Forough's life, any idea?
