A history of the Iranian women’s rights movement – لاله های سرکش جنبش زنان ایران، از مشروطه تا امروز

Reductionist tales, recalling orientalist essentialism, portray Muslim women as passive recipients of politics, who blindly follow the authority of religious men in their pursuit of political power. This book shows that Iranian women have been all but passive victims, and that their political contributions and organizing have been key to any progress made on behalf of sociopolitical movements in contemporary Iran.
