- Description
- In this analysis of how Western and Iranian feminism both converge and conflict the author makes connections among feminism, imperialism and the discourses of global sisterhood. She investigates topics including the state-sponsored Women’s Organization of Iran and the involvement of feminists such as Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem in the Iranian feminism movement before and during the 1979 revolution. She examines the veiled woman in the films of Tahmineh Milani, Ziba Mir-Hosseini and Kim Longinotto, and Mahnaz Afzali.
