Contemporary literature can be examined and analyzed from various perspectives, including the viewpoint of literary schools. Among these, realism is considered a school that was introduced into literature during the late first half of the nineteenth century, and by which many writers were attracted. The introduction of this literary school into Iranian Persian literature was accompanied by the onset of the Constitutional Revolution. During this period, the presence of numerous poets and writers can be observed by whom the realities of individual and social life were expressed in their works; Forough Farrokhzad is recognized as one of these poets. The investigation of realism in the poems of Forough Farrokhzad is intended as the aim of this research, which has been conducted through a descriptive-analytical method. It is shown by the results of the present study that issues such as love and early marriage, marital failure, separation from her child, rejection by her family, and the critique of her own poetry and poetic profession were considered by the poet in the realm of addressing realism within her personal life. In the representation of the socio-political realities of her era, which was largely influenced by the 1953 coup d'état (28 Mordad), certain segments of society, including intellectuals and poets, were criticized by Farrokhzad, and class disparities and injustice in society were condemned by her. A misandric spirit and a protest against the marginalization of women's status within the patriarchal society of her time are expressed by the feminist thoughts in her poems. Furthermore, superstitions and certain religious beliefs were criticized by her in her poetry.
