摘要

The present paper examines selected poems written by Faleeha Hassan and Alicia Ostriker. The researcher attempts to shed light on the crucial relationship between gender and identity in self-construction as portrayed in the Iraqi and American poetry produced by female writers. The study offers a feminist analysis through which the identity construction in relation to gender will be investigated under scrutiny. The study will present a comparative study between Faleeha Hassan as an Iraqi poetess and Alicia Ostriker as an American poetess with reference to the social and cultural practices linked to women. The study will at the end reveal some concrete conclusions that the researcher has come up with.
