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. 517 3 $aGender and sexual anxieties of Iranian modernity 606 $aWomen$zIran$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aWomen$zIran$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aGender identity$zIran$xHistory 610 $a19th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $abeauty standards. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aeducation. 610 $afeminism. 610 $agender identity. 610 $agender presentation. 610 $agender roles. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahistory. 610 $airan. 610 $airanian. 610 $amarriage. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amiddle eastern. 610 $amodernity. 610 $amodesty. 610 $amotherhood. 610 $arevolution. 610 $aromance. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asex and gender. 610 $asexuality. 610 $awomanhood. 610 $awomens education. 610 $awomens issues. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aGender identity$xHistory. 676 $a305.42/0955/09034 700 $aNajmabadi$b Afsaneh$f1946-$0475562 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783314903321 996 $aWomen with mustaches and men without beards$9248398 997 $aUNINA
