Book Overview
In a challenging and authoritative analysis of the role of Iranian women in the political process, Parvin Paidar considers the ways they have been affected by the evolutionary and revolutionary transformations of twentieth-century Iran. In so doing, she demonstrates how political reorganisation has of necessity redefined the position of women, and that, contrary to the view of conventional scholarship, gender issues are fundamental to the political process in contemporary Iran. The implications of the study bear on the broader issues of women in the Middle East and the developing countries generally.

Dear Professor Paidar your thoughtful points of view in this book is obviously salient.Really it must have taken a long time for you to study so much sources and cite them with honesty. Indeed, I took a lot of advantages from this impartially written book, and I think that no other one can accuse you of favouring any government or political feature in your book. Dear Professor, Since I am writing my own Thesis regarding political participation of women in the process of Iranian Revolution, I see myself completely needy to your invaluable comments about my own ideas in this regard.I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
