The role of women in Iran has commonly been viewed solely through
the lens of religion, symbolized by veiled females subordinated by
society. In this work, Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet, an Iranian-American
historian, aims to explain how the role of women has been central
to national political debates in Iran. Spanning the 19th and 20th
centuries, the book examines issues impacting women's lives under
successive regimes, including hygiene campaigns that cast mothers
as custodians of a healthy civilization; debates over female
education, employment, and political rights; conflicts between
religion and secularism; the politics of dress; and government
policies on contraception and population control. Among the topics
she will examine are the development of a women's movement in Iran,
perhaps most publicly expressed by Nobel Prize winner Shirin Ebadi.
The narrative comes up to the present, looking at reproductive
rights, the spread of AIDS, and fashion since the Iranian
Revolution.
