Sommario/riassunto

A truly fascinating insider's look at the experiences of Iranian women as academics, political and civil society activists, this book counters the often inaccurate and misleading stereotyping of Iranian women to present a vibrant and diverse picture of these women's lives. A welcomed and unique addition to the vibrant and growing literature on women, Islam, development, democracy and feminisms.
