	Iranian women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iranian women (or Persian women) are women of or from traditional Persian or modern Iranian culture.
		When Khomeini called for women to attend public demonstration and ignore the night curfew, millions of women who would otherwise not have dreamt of leaving their homes without their husbands' and fathers' permission or presence, took to the streets.
		In May 1997, a large number of women participated in presidential elections and overwhelmingly voted for Hojatolislam Mohammad Khatami, a reformist cleric who had promised reduction of repression and toleration of civil society institutions.

	Shadi Sadr Describes Iranian Women's Movement
		In fact, the Iranian woman's current demand, which I call it "the demand to change her lifestyle," is in complete contradiction with her historical "self" and the traditional society expectations from her.
		The Iranian women's movement attempts to make the society and the government realize that the only solution to the women's social crises is to recognize their equal rights and to apply human rights principles to their lives.
		And finally, today the Iranian women continue their struggle to eradicate the compulsory hijab, to establish an independent life and to participate in the highest echelons of the society.

	New England International and Comparative Law Annual - 1997 - Iranian Women
		The brunt of the regime's brutality is focused on women.
		Women having suffered the most under the policies of the theocracy, have a higher level of legitimacy with the general public and therefore, can lead others through the power of their words and experience.
		Taking indices such as the position of women within marriage, the treatment of her sexuality, her position in the eyes of the law, employment, and education, one can easily conclude that the majority of women are not equal and in fact, are discriminated against and oppressed.

	iranian.com: Women and freedom in Iran, Masoud Kazemzadeh
		Despite participation of women in higher education and employment in substantial numbers, they (along with the rest of the society) were not allowed freedom of expression, or the right to establish independent journals or groups.
		Many young university women were attracted to left-wing groups, but in the early 1970s women's rights were not prominent as such; they were subsumed under other guises, either the anti-imperialist struggle or class demands (Kazemzadeh 2002).
		The deteriorating economic conditions, suffocating cultural environment, and harsh discrimination against women gave rise to a widespread passive resistance throughout the 1980s, which eventually forced the regime to renege on many of its earlier policies in the 1990s.

	Iranian Women--Vanguard of World Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the wake of the victorious Iranian insurrection of February 6, 1979, the Iranian women's demand for emancipation, backed by demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of women, became the central rallying point for the unstoppable, continuing Iranian revolution and the springboard for radical opposition to the current Islamic bourgeois democratic regime.
		All women are urged to reject these "Western-made atrocities," don the veil as a symbol of sacrosanct male tradition, stop demanding their rights to abortion, childcare, divorce, education and equal pay, and cease their "unnatural" acts of political militance.
		In most cases, women of color are enjoined by minority men to stay away from the feminist movement because it's "unwomanly and divisive," to stay away from the gay movement because it's "unnatural," to buttress the leadership of men at their own expense, and to defend every aspect of their traditional culture, including the oppressive.

		And in a society where more than half the population is under the age of 30, young Iranians are staging a non-violent but potent counterrevolution not only through fashion, but also with their music and relations between the sexes that defy the strict Islamism dictated by the ruling mullahs.

		The Iranian woman has been suppressed for 2 millenniums, that is since the Aryans invaded the land, but with times changing, her genetic disposition and heritage connecting her to the amazons has been forcing itself to the surface.
		She was attending a women’s conference organized by the Iranian Women’s Organization that was inspired and led by the Shah’s rather notorious sister, Ashraf.
		Alireza’s claim that Iranian girls have a “lack of religious and moral values” due to their non-traditional upbringing outside of Iran by their parents (Islam-bashing or not), as well as noting the inability of Iranian girls to balance “freedom with modesty” shows just how ignorant he is of the first-generation experience.
