Abstract

The poetry of Fahmida Riaz is a powerful expression of feminist ideology and womanhood. Her verses showcase deep emotions, struggles, desires, and aspirations of women, often using symbols to convey these ideas. In her poems, elements like fire, light, rivers, and birds are utilized to symbolize women's internal strength, freedom, and resilience. Riaz's poetry emphasizes women's struggles against societal norms, her resistance to oppression, and her self-empowerment. This research delves into the feminine symbols found in her poetry and interprets them in the context of both personal experience and broader societal themes. Her work highlights the complex relationship between gender, identity, and societal expectations, contributing to the broader discourse on feminism in South Asian literature. This paper explores these symbols, interpreting their significance in the context of Riaz’s poetic style and social impact.
