Janet Afary is a native of Iran and a leading historian. Her work
focuses on gender and sexuality and draws on her experience of
growing up in Iran and her involvement with Iranian women of
different ages and social strata. These observations, and a wealth
of historical documents, form the kernel of this book, which charts
the history of the nation's sexual revolution from the nineteenth
century to today. What comes across is the extraordinary resilience
of the Iranian people, who have drawn on a rich social and cultural
heritage to defy the repression and hardship of the Islamist state
and its predecessors. It is this resilience, the author concludes,
which forms the basis of a sexual revolution taking place in Iran
today, one that is promoting reforms in marriage and family laws,
and demanding more egalitarian gender and sexual relations.
