Shushanik Kurghinian (1876-1927) was an Armenian poet who catalyzed the development of socialist and feminist poetry before Armenia became part of the Soviet Union in 1920. She is the author of Arshaluysi ghoghanjner (Ringing of the Dawn, 1907), which included poems that referred to the failed Revolution of 1905 in Imperial Russia. Later poems were rejected and barred from publication by tsarist censorship after the appearance of her first book. They were published posthumously during the Soviet period.
