Literature and poetry in Afghanistan has always had its lovers. Way back in the history the kings used to give the poets money and have them write a poem. There were many poets but very few were women. The number of the women poets and women story tellers was increasing by the passage of time till the presidency period which reached to its peak. But unfortunately it did not last long as the war with Russians and civil wars started in Afghanistan and Taliban came afterwards which totally banned the door of the colleges for women. This whole period of wars toke Thirty years which resulted to the death of the literature and poem in the society.
