Peeling away notions of a rigid pre-modern Islamic gender system, Afsaneh Najmabadi provides a compelling demonstration of the centrality of gender and sexuality to the shaping of modern culture and politics in Iran and of how changes in ideas about gender and sexuality affected conceptions of beauty, love, homeland, marriage, education, and citizenship. She concludes with a provocative discussion of Iranian feminism and its role in that country's current culture wars. In addition to providing an important new perspective on Iranian history, Najmabadi skillfully demonstrates how using gender as an analytic category can provide insight into structures of hierarchy and power and thus into the organization of politics and social life.Gender and sexual anxieties of Iranian modernityWomenIranSocial conditions19th centuryWomenIranSocial conditions20th centuryGender identityIranHistory19th century.academic.beauty standards.cultural history.cultural studies.education.feminism.gender identity.gender presentation.gender roles.gender studies.history.iran.iranian.marriage.middle east.middle eastern.modernity.modesty.motherhood.revolution.romance.scholarly.sex and gender.sexuality.womanhood.womens education.womens issues.WomenSocial conditionsWomenSocial conditionsGender identityHistory.305.42/0955/09034Najmabadi Afsaneh1946-475562MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783314903321Women with mustaches and men without beards248398UNINA
