- Description
- Kate Millett was already an icon of American feminism when she went to Iran in 1979. She arrived just weeks after the Iranian Revolution, to join Iranian women in marking International Women's Day. Millett, armed with film equipment and a cassette deck to record everything around her, found herself in the middle of demonstrations for women's rights and against the mandatory veil. Listening to the revolutionary soundscape of Millett's audio tapes, Mottahedeh offers a new guide to Revolutionary Iran and women's movement. Published with the fortieth anniversary of the Iranian Revolution and the women's protests that followed on its heels, this book re-introduces Millett's visit to Iran and lays out the nature of her encounter with the Iranian women's movement.

- Description
- This book discusses why autocratic leaders in Morocco, Tunisia and Alegria have applied more extensive legal reforms of women's rights than the Middle East countries. It analyzes, based on fieldwork, how women's rights are used to advance the political goals of authoritarian regimes in an attempt to sideline religious extremists. It shows how Islamist political parties in the North-African countries have been forced to change their positions on women's rights to ensure political survival.
