Abstract
Alamtaj Qaim Maqami was a poet from the Qaim Maqam Farahani family during the constitutional period, and his primary education was organized in his father's house. At the age of sixteen, she got married to a forty-year-old man from Bakhtiari's fighting men. As much as this man had his heart in fighting, warfare, hunting, epics and mountains, Alamtaj had his heart in art, literature and romanticism that was boiling from his inherent gem. This personality difference led to a family quarrel and finally to separation. This husband and wife, both in the history and literature of the constitutional period, have had significant importance, which in the opinion of the author of this article, that importance has not been highlighted as it should and exposed to the gaze of historians and literary critics; Especially the literature of women's awakening has not happened. The author of this article, with the method of historical analysis and analysis of the content of Alamtaj's poem attributed to Jaleh, found the role of both personalities in the constitutional period, both from the historical and literary point of view, very significant and to prove his claim, by rereading Jaleh's poems, has turned.
