Fascinating read from 1997 about the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran regarding women.
I fell upon this while surfing for recent information about the current cultural clash revolution regarding women in Iran, and now the school girl poisonings. #Iran #iranianrevolution

Wilson CenterReconstructed Lives: Women and Iran's Islamic RevolutionWomen in Iran began agitating for increased rights in the late 19th Century. Their efforts were abetted by liberalization under the first Shah of Iran and later by his son. But the advent of Ayatollah Khomeini and his conservative revolution in 1979 caused a drastic reverse in the progress of Iranian women. Yet their dedication to full equality has remained high. Haleh Esfandiari explains this through her interviews with women - old and young - in Iran.
