Deirdre Eberly Lashgari (born April 7, 1941 in Ann Arbor, Michigan; died August 16, 2014 in Los Angeles, California) was a
professor emerita of English at California State Polytechnic University. Lashgari was a specialist in ethnic and world literatures;
translated both classical and modern Iranian poetry; and wrote, published, and lectured on Iranian fiction and film and on
women writers of fiction and poetry in Iran, China, India, Ghana, and the United States. At UC Berkeley in the 1960s, she
studied Farsi, Arabic, and French, and worked to translate women's poetry that was then still unknown in the United States.
In the 1970s, Lashgari was a member of the Comparative Literature Women's Caucus, and taught the first courses on women's
literature in the department of Comparative Literature. She also taught in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program and in the
experimental undergraduate seminar program, Strawberry Creek College, both at UC Berkeley.
