Book Description
Iran. A nation mired in rumor and mystery for much of the Western world. What snippets of information work their way into the media and books might be considered appalling, especially when it comes to widespread discrimination and abuse. Fariba knows this all too well. She has been taught since birth that a woman's role is to be obedient to men. This is her story.Most of the world continues to evolve and advance basic human rights for all but women like Fariba are forced to look through the glass only. Theirs is a life of quiet servitude, a life where women can do no right and are expected to keep their mouths shut and obey. Any high points women have made during Iran's long and storied past is ignored, cast back into shadow without a fight or questioning. This male dominated society controls every aspect of life and it is the Iranian women who are meant to suffer. But why?Persian Women explores Iran's history as the author attempts to forge a new future of equality and hope. It is a detailed chronicle of the strides women have taken to change a corrupt system and earn their freedom. Persian Women is a gripping emotional experience told through the eyes of a woman who lived it. Written with the bitter truth, Fariba brings to light one of the greatest crises in the modern world. She shows unmitigated courage as she details the good and the bad of women living in Iran today. Any hope for the future must come from the women of today. Persian Women is a sparkling tribute to everyone who has ever stood up to oppression and shouted, no more.

Book Description
Iranian women tell in their own words what the revolution attempted and how they responded. The Islamic revolution of 1979 transformed all areas of Iranian life. For women, the consequences were extensive and profound, as the state set out to reverse legal and social rights women had won and to dictate many aspects of women's lives, including what they could study and how they must dress and relate to men. Reconstructed Lives presents Iranian women telling in their own words what the revolution attempted and how they responded. Through a series of interviews with professional and working women in Iran—doctors, lawyers, writers, professors, secretaries, businesswomen—Haleh Esfandiari gathers dramatic accounts of what has happened to their lives as women in an Islamic society. She and her informants describe the strategies by which women try to and sometimes succeed in subverting the state's agenda. Esfandiari also provides historical background on the women's movement in Iran. She finds evidence in Iran's experience that even women from "traditional" and working classes do not easily surrender rights or access they have gained to education, career opportunities, and a public role.
