This is the first book in any language about the writing of women
in Iran. For centuries any sense that there could be a literary
tradition among women was suppressed. Since the middle of the 19th
century, however, a number a of pioneering women have defied the
traditional order to produce poetry and novels of the highest
quality; but many of them have paid for their courage with
accusations of immorality, promiscuity, heresy and even lunacy.
This book traces the history of Iranian women writers of poetry,
fiction and autobiography, in the context of social and cultural
practices, particularly those relating to veiling and unveiling,
silence and revelation. The author pays particular attention to the
lives and works of Tahereh Qorratol'Ayn, Parvin E'tessami, Forugh
Farrokhzad, Simin Daneshvar and Tahereh Saffarzadeh.
