Farrokhzad's poetry was banned for more than a decade after the Islamic Revolution. A brief literary biography of Forough, Michael Hillmann's "A lonely woman: Forough Farrokhzad and her poetry", was published in 1987. Farzaneh Milani's work "Veils and words: the emerging voices of Iranian women writers" (1992) included a chapter about her. Abdolali Dastgheib, literary critic writer, published a critical review of Forough’s poems titled ‘The Little Mermaid’ (Farsi title پری کوچک دریا) (2006) in which he describes Forugh as a pioneer in modern Farsi poetry who symbolises feminism in her work.
