Silva Kaputikyan[a] (Armenian: Սիլվա Կապուտիկյանⓘ) (20 January 1919 – 25 August 2006) was an Armenian poet and political activist. One of the best-known Armenian writers of the twentieth century,[5] she is recognized as "the leading poetess of Armenia"[1] and "the grand lady of twentieth century Armenian poetry".[6] Although a member of the Communist Party, she was a noted advocate of Armenian national causes.[7][8]
Her first collection of poems were published in the mid-1940s. By the 1950s she had established herself as a significant literary figure in Soviet Armenia. Besides Armenian she also wrote in Russian and many of her works were translated to other languages. In the later Soviet period she frequently addressed political and other issues.
