This book examines gender and the dynamics of social change in
contemporary Iran, documenting the changes in women's lives and
showing how women have now become agents of social change rather
than victims. Bringing together the detailed primary research of a
number of eminent scholars working in Iran, this collection
provides unique perspectives on the past decade in Iranian society.
Chapters document and examine how different Iranian groups and
classes are negotiating, resisting, and pressing for political and
social change, to explore the complexity of a society that often is
portrayed in monolithic stereotypes in the international media.
Thematically arranged sections explore discourses around gender and
the impact of these discourses on women; the gendered impact of
educational, employment, communications, and cultural changes;
changing gender attitudes among the post-revolutionary generation
of youth; and the ways economic changes have been affecting women.
Providing an important basis for understanding social and political
developments in a country that has been a focus of international
attention for much of the last decade, this collection will be an
important reference for scholars of Iranian studies, gender
studies, political science and sociology.
