Opis

Iranian women acquired greater legal, social, and economic opportunities during the past three decades than in any other period of history, yet they participated in large numbers in the 1979 revolution to overthrow Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The authors examine the status of women in pre-revolutionary society, the ways in which their lives were affected by Islamic principles.
